Key categories within Scope 3 emissions for 2024 include purchased goods and services (approximately 14.85 billion kg CO2e) and downstream transportation and distribution (around 2.19 billion kg CO2e). In 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 21.66 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 789 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 256 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 20.61 billion kg CO2e.

Danone has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.3% by 2030, from a 2020 base year. Additionally, Danone aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from 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% within the same timeframe (2020-2030). For agriculture and forestry (FLAG) emissions, Danone commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030 from a 2020 base year and achieving no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and specified Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2020 base year, and a 72% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2020 base year.
