Danone

Danone, a French dairy products company, reported total carbon emissions of about 18.61 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 697.27 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of about 49.23 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 17.86 billion kg CO2e. A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions comes from purchased goods and services, at around 13.99 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, Danone's total emissions have shown a general downward trend since 2022, when they were about 24.21 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 19.79 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 684.66 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at about 122.41 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 18.98 billion kg CO2e.

Danone is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This long-term commitment includes a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions by 2050, from a 2020 base year.

The company has set several near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals. Danone aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.3% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Additionally, it plans 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% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Danone also has a Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030 from a 2020 base year, and to achieve no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025.
