Food systems and global value chains need to be transformed to be fit for the future.
At Danone we recognise the urgent need to continue and amplify our effort in protecting and restoring natural ecosystems; this has been a central element of our sustainability strategy (Danone Impact Journey). This is not only a moral imperative but a business imperative as well: as a global food business, we depend on healthy ecosystems and thriving communities where we source our raw materials. Combatting deforestation and conversion will strengthen our supply resilience and help pave the way for sustainable growth.
In 2022, Danone published its Renewed Forest Policy which was updated in december 2025 (Forest Policy 2025) , committing to addresses all forms of deforestation and land conversion within our key supply chains and building a forest positive future. This ambition is fully linked to Danone’s submission to 1.5C SBTi FLAG target, also set up in 2022.
