As a global leader in animal nutrition and health industry, Adisseo's mission is to provide healthy, safe, cost-effective and high-quality animal food for the world on the premise of adhering to the principle of sustainable development, he pointed out.

Around its sustainable development goal, Adisseo further introduced the progress and long-term goals of relevant development plans at the "Investors’ Day" conference.
