Mengniu Partners with Alliance for Water Stewardship to Promote Water Conservation Initiatives across the Global Dairy Industry

AWS is a global collaborative network that includes businesses, NGOs, and public sector organizations. Members of AWS contribute to the sustainability of local water resources by adopting and promoting a universal framework for responsible water use – the International Water Stewardship Standard, or AWS Standard. The framework drives, recognizes, and rewards exemplary water management practices.

Mengniu has been actively enhancing its water management initiatives in recent years. In 2020, the Company set a goal to achieve a 6% reduction in freshwater consumption per tonne of dairy product by 2025, compared to 2020. As of 2023, the Group has successfully reduced its water consumption per tonne of dairy product by 3.8% since 2020, resulting in annual water savings of 1,062,000 tonnes.

Meanwhile, Mengniu has achieved a series of significant milestones in water resource conservation.

Building on their shared commitment to sustainable water management developed over the years, Mengniu views this strategic partnership as a pivotal opportunity to enhance its water resource management practices. By closely collaborating with AWS and leveraging the unique knowledge, experiences, and strengths of both organizations, Mengniu and AWS will promote the adoption and implementation of water conservation standards in China to drive the sustainable development of dairy industry both in China and overseas.
