Taking our goals from commitment to action

Commitments

We’ve put in place a variety of frameworks and certifications to help us stay on track to achieve our sustainability goals. These include our new "Société à Mission" status, our B Corp Certification worldwide, and external rankings for transparency, allowing us to be compared with our industry peers.

Upholding accountability and transparency

In 2020, Danone became the first French listed company to adopt “Société à Mission” status. More than a symbolic gesture, this French legal framework, incorporated in our by-laws in June 2020, requires us to fulfil our sustainability commitments.

Addressing critical challenges in society together

B Corp Certification

Another way in which we're show our commitment to positive impact is our B-Corp certification. Our B-Corp status is a way of certifying that we are verified as meeting standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

Assessing our ESG performance

External recognition

Our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices are assessed externally through ratings and thematic rankings. We choose which assessments we take part in based on criteria including how relevant they are to our goals and how they can help us improve. These evaluations also let people see how we compare to our industry peers.
