Danone is a leader in the global Food and Beverage (F & B) industry, offering product lines ranging from dairy and plant-based products to water. Some of its famous brands include Evian water, Danone yogurt, and many others. Danone also happens to be a brand with one of the largest plastic footprints, which has been heavily criticized for its pollution effects. However, through careful efforts and conscious initiatives, the company has built a strong brand on sustainable food values. Given their wide product range, their sustainability policies are also varied enough to complement their widespread impact. According to Danone’s CEO, Emmanuel Faber, “Consumers are craving change. They expect large organisations like Danone to bring our scale of impact to change the world for the better.” Danone took multiple steps in the sustainable direction in 2018. They introduced new plant-based products, made drastic changes to their packaging and announced their 2030 sustainable goals to green their products even further. As of 2018, 87% of Danone’s total packaging (and 77% of its plastic packaging) was reusable, recyclable, or compostable. At Least 50% of its water volumes are sold in reusable jugs. The F&B giant is taking greater steps toward the circular packaging model with the following goals. 1) Launch 100% recycled bottles in all their major water markets (by 2021); . 2) Reach 25% of recycled material on average in plastic packaging by 2025; . 3) Reach 50% on average for water and beverage bottles, and 100% for Evian bottle (by 2025); . 4) Offer consumers bottles made from 100% bioplastic. Beyond the packaging phase of implementing a circular economy, Danone has also emphasized the importance of investing in the infrastructure of waste management systems. Danone Ecosystem Fund have launched projects to supportwaste pickers in 7 countries. Through this project, they have ensured safe working conditions, appropriate wages, and social protection. By 2018, close to 6,000 waste pickers were professionally empowered, and more than 45,000 tons of waste were recycled yearly. To further express their support for the circular economy model, they invested $5 million dollars to finance the recycling and circular economy infrastructure across North America. Danone’s annual progress report proves that their efforts to make sustainable improvements did not go unnoticed. A. In your opinion, what are the other sustainability management tools that Danone should implement, and why?
