2024 Impact Awards winner: Danone Canada

Bringing health through food began for Danone more than over 100 years ago. 

Over the years, that mission has evolved. 

In 2023, the company launched the Danone Impact Journey, a multifaceted program outlining ways to make a positive impact through its brands for farmers and their communities, as well as consumers and their families. 

As the largest consumer-facing B Corp-certified company in Canada, Danone has become a leader for creating change. 

Its goal is to decarbonize its business and lead where it can have the most impact—reducing methane. 

It’s the first food and agriculture company to set such a target. Danone has set 12 sustainability priorities and 35 impact KPIs. 

Its focus includes curbing GHG emissions, supporting regenerative agriculture, preserving and restoring watersheds where it operates and driving water footprint reduction. 

Sustainability and related discussions are a part of every Canadian town hall and ongoing employee engagement surveys are used to evaluate opinions about Danone’s ongoing efforts to uphold its commitments. 

In a changing world, it promises to stay focused on its sustainability goals and adapt.
