Danone Achieves Global B Corp Certification, Setting New Standards in Dairy Sustainability

Danone has made history by obtaining B Corp certification on a global scale, becoming the largest dairy company to join the movement of B Corporations. This certification recognizes companies that legally commit to balancing profit with social and environmental responsibility.

The achievement follows years of transformation in Danone's governance and supply policies. By certifying all its global entities, the company ensures its processes, fr om raw milk collection to the distribution of yogurt and infant formulas, adhere to strict transparency and environmental performance standards.

For the international dairy sector, Danone's move validates the 'shared value' model, wh ere productive efficiency aligns with environmental regeneration and community well-being. Analysts believe this raises the bar for other global competitors, prompting the industry to rethink carbon footprints and ethical relations with primary producers.

Furthermore, the certification is a catalyst for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments, which are increasingly valued by financial markets. For Danone, being a B Corporation means ensuring resilient dairy supply through regenerative agricultural practices that protect soil health and biodiversity.

This certification has a significant impact in the Mexican and Latin American dairy industries, where Danone has a strong presence. It promotes stricter regulations on waste management, water savings, and methane emissions reduction, aiming to demonstrate that commercial success can coexist with comprehensive corporate responsibility aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
