Over the next five years, Danone will focus its efforts on three consistent priorities: health through food, nature, and people & communities.

Promoting and Enhancing Health Through Food for Consumers and Patients

 Between 2026 and 2030, the food group will intensify its efforts to improve the nutritional profile of its products, extending its sugar reduction target (a maximum of 10g per 100g) to all its everyday dairy and plant-based products for adults. The group will also step up its fight against iron deficiencies and disease-related malnutrition, notably through screening programs.

These 2030 objectives reflect Danone's ambition: to improve global food and health, roll out science-based solutions, and strengthen its impact on overall nutrition.

Preserving and Regenerating Nature

 Additionally, Danone continues to act on five key priorities within its nature pillar: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane; developing regenerative agriculture; preserving water and supporting water access; promoting circular packaging; and reducing food waste.

The company is making progress toward its CO2 reduction goals, with emissions down 21% in 2025 compared to 2020, in line with its SBTi 1.5°C pathway for 2030, and reaffirms its commitments for 2030. It is also pursuing its target to cut methane emissions linked to fresh milk used in its dairy products by 30% by 2030 compared to 2020.

Furthermore, Danone has expanded its regenerative agriculture target and now aims to source 45% of its main at-risk ingredients directly from farms engaged in regenerative agriculture by 2030 (up from 39% in 2025).

Danone has also broadened the scope of its commitments regarding verified deforestation- and conversion-free (vDCF) supply chains.

Danone continues to invest in reducing its water footprint across all its product categories. The group is committed to advancing circular packaging solutions. More than 45% of its water products are offered in reusable packaging, and the Group has already reduced its use of virgin plastic by 17% since 2019, even as plastic use in the industry has increased by 10%.

Fostering the Development of Employees and Communities

Moreover, over the next five years, Danone will broaden and strengthen its support for its employees and communities.

Building on the pioneering Dan'Cares program, which provides medical coverage to 90,000 employees worldwide, Danone is now rolling out enhanced programs for its staff. Policies for parents, caregivers, and support in case of cancer or serious illness are now grouped under the expanded Dan'Life framework, with the ambition to extend coverage to more than 95% of eligible employees by 2030.

At the same time, Danone is accelerating its investments in developing future skills, leveraging its AI Academy programs for employees and launching initiatives such as the Danone Milk Academy, aiming to train 10,000 partner farmers and workers in its dairy supply chain by 2030.
