Danone Advances Sustainable Dairy Production Practices in Mexico
Danone, a leading multinational in the food industry, is intensifying its focus on sustainable production practices in Mexico. The company is emphasizing regenerative agriculture, which aims to restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and enhance carbon capture on farms. This approach directly affects the dairy supply chain, changing how raw materials are sourced, from forage to raw milk. Programs like the Margarita Project in Mexico exemplify this vision, integrating producer community welfare with ecological efficiency.
Environmentally, Danone has reported a 26% reduction in water consumption since 2010. Additionally, aligning with circular economy principles, Danone has exceeded European regulations by incorporating up to 60% recycled material in its PET plastic packaging, far surpassing the legal minimum of 25%. These efforts showcase leadership in water management and packaging circularity, crucial for the brand's image and operational sustainability in modern agribusiness.
Socially, Danone's strategy is robust, focusing on inclusion and community development. Through projects like ReNueva, the company not only advances packaging circularity but also creates employment opportunities for socially vulnerable individuals. This commitment to triple impact—environmental, social, and economic—has gained Danone global recognition, leading to the prestigious B-Corp Certification, which rigorously evaluates companies' social and environmental performance.
