The company’s success is mirrored by its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility. Yutong's initiatives included aiding victims of floods in Kazakhstan, providing necessary supplies and replacing vehicle components. During the Green Travel Week in Brisbane, the company garnered acclaim from the AWCPD for its endeavors in promoting environmental awareness and supporting vulnerable groups such as women and children. Furthermore, a zero-carbon forest planting initiative was launched in the UK in collaboration with local dealer Pelican.
