This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goals of carbon neutrality, water reduction and zero-waste to landfill.Edson Higo, CEO of Danone Brazil said: “Danone has had sustainability at its core since day one, as reflected in our investment into local communities, the commitiron ferrous sulfate vs iron bisglycinatement of our employees, and our collaboration with partners. We are proud that this work has been certified by the Carbon Trust with this triple certification in Poços de Caldas and look forward to the next steps on our journey to achieve zero net carbon emissions by 2050.”This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goalsnursing considerations for ferrous fumarate of carbon neutrality, water reduction and zero-waste to landfill.In collaboration with both employees and external partners, Danone Poços de Caldas, Brazil firmly moved towards Danone’s environmental commitments by:This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goals of carbon neutrality, water reduferrous fumarate with folic acid and cyanocobalaminction and zero-waste to landfill.Curbing carbon emissions: the energy efficient facility operates fully on renewable electricity, part of which is generated by the 1,500 solar panels covering parking lots and walkways at the plant. The remaining direct carbon emissions of the plant as well as those resulting from employee commutes have been fully offset by supporting conservation projects developed by BioFilica, a Brazilian company focused on forest management and conservation.This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goals of carbon neutrality, water reduction and zero-waste to landfill.
Reducing water consumption and ensuring water self-sufficiency: Danone aims at preserving water resources where it operates and ensuring water circularity in and around its production sites. The Poços de Caldas site has installed a state-of-the-art rainwater collection and treatment system harvesting around 4 million litres rainwater per year, to ensure the site is self-sufficient with regards to its water needs, thus protecting local water resources.This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goals of carbon neutrality, water reduction and zero-waste to landfill.
Achieving zero-waste to landfill: to achieve zero-waste to landfill, the production site has minimized its waste generation and then separated it into defined streams to maximize recycling and ensure that 100% of all waste generated is recovered.This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goals of carbon neutrality, water reduction and zero-waste to landfill.
The certifications of the Poços de Caldas plant are part of a wider set of actions taken by Danone Brazil to meet its ambitious sustainability goals. These actions led to Danone Brazil becoming the first large food and beverage company in Brazil to obtain the B CorpTM certification in March 2021. This achievement is aligned with Danone’s ambition to become a Certified B CorpTM globally, in line with our long-term commitment to sustainable business.This is the first Danone production site certified by the Carbon Trust on the three environmental goferrous fumarate folic acid phaprosals of carbon neutrality, water reduction and zermolecular weight of ferrous fumarateo-waste to landfill.Edson Higo continues:
