unremitting efforts to develop our company, we must also be mindful of social responsibility and

international responsibility. Creating a community of human destiny is not only the mission of

China and New Zealand but also the responsibility of non-governmental organisations and

enterprises in various countries. The AFC Group is actively undertaking corporate social

responsibility as the first Chinese listed company in New Zealand. All of these accomplishments

are indebted to the excellent vision and high-efficient leadership by the Board, whole-hearted

不但有新西兰两任前总理及议员的签名支持,也有罗斯柴尔德家族的赞赏,还受联

合国教科文组织总干事特别顾问弗朗西斯科·班德林的喜爱。国家乳业集团有限公

司在过去的一年里相继取得了包括Morning, DD Mask等品牌的商标注册权。

集参观、体验及互动为一体的全方位澳洲和新西兰的食品文化的体验中心,同时也

引进了超过两千多个澳新品牌。


总体来看,无论是公司制度和管理,品牌建立及宣传,工作生产和财务的流程,人
