CTI has issued China’s first Carbon Neutral Certificate for a snack food factory, marking the successful establishment of the first “Zero Carbon Factory” in China’s food industry. The food production facility, owned and operated by Anhui Panpan Food Co., commonly known as "Panpan Food", is a subsidiary of Fujian Panpan Foods Group.

Panpan Foods is a leading snack food company in China and one of Asia’s “Top 500” brands. Panpan Foods has adhered to the concept of sustainable and green development from an early stage, and has since implemented robust carbon peak and carbon neutral strategies. After in-depth exploration, innovation, and development of sustainability strategies, Panpan Foods has established a green, healthy and development pathway with coordinated ecological, social, and economic benefits. Panpan Foods have created provincial green factories, national green factories, and zero-carbon factories, becoming a benchmark for green manufacturing in the snack food industry.
