Danone

"Danone's net zero target is set for 2050, as included in their corporate policy. Net Zero Tracker
They also have an interim target by 2030 for CO2 reduction in line with 1.5'C SBTI. Net Zero Tracker
Their target covers scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions but does not cover historical emissions. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about Danone's environmental policy is that they have a publicly available plan that includes measures for all emission scopes covered by the target, and they have committed to annual reporting. Net Zero Tracker
They have also set additional targets for methane, although it's …"

Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Danone belongs to the sector Consumer Staples.

Danone is a member of the Business Ambition for 1.5 campaign (link here )

Overall Net-Zero Target: Danone commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Near-Term Targets: Energy & Industry: Danone commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 46.3% by 2030 from a 2020 base year*. Danone also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel-and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, downstream transportation and distribution and end of life treatment of sold products 42% within the same timeframe.
*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
FLAG: Danone commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 3 FLAG GHG emissions 30.3% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year** Danone also commits to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of 2025.
** The target includes FLAG emissions and removals.
Long-Term Targets: Energy & Industry: Danone commits to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, downstream transportation and distribution, and end-of-life treatment of sold products 90% within the same timeframe*.
*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Not Specified

Additional notes: Agriculture is not just a way to reduce carbon emissions but also actually take CO2 out of the atmosphere by sequestering it in the ground. By transitioning to regenerative agriculture practices, like keeping roots in the soil rather than tilling, our producers can improve soil health, which in turn will help keep carbon in the ground. Danone is stepping up its support for regenerative agriculture practices. In 2017, we joined the 4 per 1000 initiative, an international platform to catalyze cooperation on soil health and soil carbon sequestration
