Yili's Breast Milk Innovations Recognized at ESPGHAN 2025
HELSINKI, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- From May 14 to 17, 2025, the 57th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) was held in Helsinki, Finland. At the meeting, Yili presented twelve of its latest key findings on breast milk, covering HMOs, lactoferrin, and the optimal balance of dietary fatty acids. Yili also hosted a dedicated seminar during the conference, drawing considerable attention from international delegates.
Among the more than 1,500 abstracts submitted to ESPGHAN 2025, a collaborative study by Yili, the team of Dr. Ai Zhao at Tsinghua University, and the National Center of Technology Innovation for Dairy in China stood out by receiving one of the highest scores. This was the first study to apply machine learning to uncover the nutritional complexity of breast milk. This study revealed that a targeted combination of DHA, EPA, and DSLNT can precisely modulate the gut microbiota of both mothers and infants, providing a novel theoretical framework for precise nutritional interventions in maternal and infant health.
Other groundbreaking discoveries presented by Yili, in collaboration with Tsinghua University, Nanchang University, China Agricultural University, and other institutions, were also a major highlight of the annual meeting. These studies revealed new insights into: how a mother's postpartum emotional state affects infant gut microbiota and early brain development; how a balanced dietary fatty acid profile can enhance lipid metabolism and cognitive function through gut microbiota modulation; and the potential of human milk fat substitutes (HMFS) to regulate gut microbiota, reduce fat accumulation, and support healthy physical development in infants.
At the seminar themed "Promoting Healthy Infant Development: Insights from Breast Milk, Gut Microbiota, and Nutritional Research," Dr. Ignatius Szeto, Assistant President of Yili Group, unveiled Yili's latest research findings on HMOs, highlighting their significant role in fostering infant gut health, immune function, nutrient absorption, and cognitive development.
During the roundtable forum, Professor Zhang Yumei, tenured professor at the School of Public Health of Peking University, elaborated on the four aspects of breast milk research, emphasizing the synergistic benefits of key components such as HMOs, lactoferrin, and nucleotides in supporting the immune, intestinal, nervous, and metabolic systems of infants. She commended Yili for proposing this comprehensive view of breast milk's health effects, taking the lead in establishing an AI-driven research and development paradigm for maternal and infant nutrition, and opening new frontiers in precision infant nutrition research. From a clinical trial perspective, Professor Marc Benning of Amsterdam University Medical Centre emphasized the importance of incorporating gut health biomarkers as key outcome measures in infant nutrition research.
To date, Pro-Kido, Yili's infant formula brand has launched a wide range of specialized nutritional solutions for infants worldwide, including ZhenHu, Aronurish, Seine Mouiller, and UITSTEKEND GEITENMELK.
Looking ahead, Yili will rely on its 15 global innovation centers to advance full value chain innovation and international collaboration in key areas of dairy research, aiming to better serve consumers worldwide.

SAN DIEGO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), aligned with its commitments to advance the power of genomics, today published its annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The report spotlights the ways Illumina is making precision health more accessible than ever before, and its ongoing work to empower people and communities, embed sustainability across its business, operate responsibly, and lead with integrity. "At Illumina, we work relentlessly in our mission to improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome, and our CSR strategy is an essential part of that," said Jacob Thaysen, CEO of Illumina. "Our innovation has driven incredible breakthroughs—but those breakthroughs only matter if they can be accessed. Our CSR efforts are designed to drive greater access to genomics technologies and improve health equity for billions of people around the world. We continue to take meaningful steps to champion patients, communities, employees, and the planet as we work to create a healthier and more sustainable future." 2024 highlights Making genomics affordable and accessible: Integrating genomics across the care continuum is critical to positive health outcomes, but gaps in health insurance coverage continue to put genomic testing out of reach for many. In 2024, Illumina's advocacy efforts supported the expansion of health care coverage for genomic testing to an additional 100 million people compared to 2023, resulting in a total of 1.4 billion lives covered. Significantly reducing packaging and increasing product sustainability efforts: In 2024, Illumina achieved an 80% reduction in packaging since 2019, surpassing its 2030 target of a 75% reduction. The MiSeq i100 Series, launched in 2024 and designed with sustainability in mind, also achieved a 35% reduction in climate change impact, thanks to its reduced packaging and the room-temperature shipping and storage of its reagents. Operating sustainably: 100% of Illumina's global electricity consumption came from renewable sources for the third consecutive year. Impact areas Illumina's CSR program is rooted in four key areas, and the company's CSR report demonstrates progress made in 2024 in each: Accelerating access to genomics Illumina launched the MiSeq i100 Series, benchtop sequencers designed for faster run times and simplified setup and analysis. Illumina invested in the future of genomics by expanding access to STEM education. The company has reached 2.1 million STEM learners since 2019 through direct programming, nonprofit partners, and employee engagement. Nurturing our people and communities Fifty-two percent of Illumina's employees participated in giving and volunteering programs, donating 91,370 volunteer hours. Illumina maintained a zero net pay gap for the sixth consecutive year. Integrating sustainability Illumina realized a 45% decrease in scopes 1 and 2 emissions from its 2019 baseline. Five Illumina labs completed the eight-month certification process with My Green Lab, the gold standard for laboratory sustainability best practices around the world. Operating responsibly 100% of Illumina's core facilities participated in third-party audit programs. Illumina was named for the sixth year in a row to the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index and the Dow Jones Best-in-Class North America Index (formerly part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices) and received a top industry ISS Corporate Governance rating. Illumina continued to exercise strong corporate governance with an independent Board of Directors (all independent with the exception of the CEO) and an independent Board Chair.
