Danone's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

In 2025, Danone reported total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of approximately 18.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions represent the largest portion, totalling around 17.86 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for approximately 13.99 billion kg CO2e and downstream transportation and distribution contributing about 2.05 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 697 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 49 million kg CO2e (market-based).

For 2024, Danone's total GHG emissions were approximately 19.79 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 684 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 122 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions amounted to roughly 18.98 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor at approximately 14.85 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2023, Danone's total emissions were approximately 21.66 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 789 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 256 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were the most significant, at approximately 20.61 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services making up the largest share at about 16.59 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Targets:

Danone is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. This ambitious target includes reducing GHG emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3.

Key reduction targets include:

• By 2030:
  • A reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.3% from a 2020 base year.
  • A reduction of absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions (covering purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, and end-of-life treatment of sold products) by 42% from a 2020 base year.
  • A reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 30.3% from a 2020 base year.
  • Commitment to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025.
• By 2050:
  • A commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain.
  • A reduction of absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% from a 2020 base year.
  • A reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% from a 2020 base year.

Danone's climate targets are validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and align with a 1.5°C warming scenario. The company has demonstrated progress, achieving a significant reduction in emissions intensity in past years.
