“ True to our“ health through food“ mission, Danone leads sustainability programmes with a double ambition of impact and resilience – positively impacting people’ s health, preserving and regenerating nature, and ensuring thriving communities, while enhancing resilience and competitiveness in our supply chain, benefiting farmers and communities around us,” says Henri Bruxelles, Chief Sustainability and Strategic Business Development Officer at Danone. The world leading food and beverage company’ s sustainability strategy – known as the Danone Impact Journey – is centered around three pillars: health, nature, and people & communities.
Danone’ s sustainable agriculture strategy centers on transitioning to regenerative agricultural practices to enhance soil
health, increase biodiversity, improve water quality and ensure the long-term viability of its farmers and food supply.
In 2024, Danone surpassed its milestone with 39 % of its key directly sourced ingredients coming from farms that have begun this regenerative transition, exceeding earlier targets. The approach is rooted in close partnerships with more than 58,000 farmers worldwide, providing ongoing support, training and developing innovations such as biodigesters to reduce methane emissions. In line with the Global Methane Pledge, Danone is working towards 8 % reduction( compared to a 2020 baseline) in methane emissions from its fresh milk supply by 2025.
