Danone North America
Recycled Content
By 2021, we will launch 100% recycled PET bottles in all our major water markets. By 2025, we will reach 25% of recycled material on average in our plastic packaging; 50% on average for our water and beverage bottles; and 100% for evian bottles.
Responsible Fiber Sourcing
We will continue working to eliminate deforestation linked to paper and board from our supply chain by 2020.
Bio-based / Renewable Materials
We aim to offer consumers bottles made of 100% renewable plastic (bioPET) by 2025.
Eliminate Unfavorable Materials
We will phase out all PVC packaging by 2021. For polystyrene (PS) packaging, we will follow a dual strategy: significantly reduce our dependency on this material while collaborating to develop the first recycling streams.
Material Efficiency
We will take action towards eliminating problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging of our products.
Improving Recovery Infrastructure
By 2025, our goal is to have initiated or supported collection and recycling initiatives in each of our top 20 markets (by sales volume, representing around 90% of our total sales). We will step up our investment in private initiatives that strengthen collection and a circular infrastructure, especially in countries where formal systems are absent or in development, or where there is a high risk of leakage into the environment or the oceans.
Design For Recovery
Our goal for 2025 is for every piece of packaging—from bottle caps to yogurt cups—to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable.
Increasing Recycling
In Indonesia, Danone AQUA is committed to leading a nationwide educational campaign on recycling, with dedicated programs in 20 major cities by 2020. To contribute to raising awareness, it aims to scale up the use of special drop-boxes for plastic bottles, to reach up to 100 million consumers by 2025. We will sharpen our focus on consumer education in markets with a high risk of leakage.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
50% reduction in emission intensity on Danone’s full scope by 2030. 30% absolute reduction in Danone scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 2030. Danone is meeting this challenge head on by aligning to Science-Based Targets and committing to zero net carbon emissions by 2050.
Manufacturing / Operational Waste
In 2016, we set a goal of zero plastics to landfill for our industrial waste by 2020 in countries with developed collection systems, and by 2025 globally.
Water Consumption
By 2030 25% reduction in water consumption for our direct farmers in high-risk areas and securing and improving water quality by using fewer chemical fertilizers. Reducing our water usage in factories in high water-stress areas by 50%
Renewable / Alternative Energy
We are aiming to reach 50% of renewable electricity by 2020, and 100% by 2030.
