As both are committed to developing the circular economy, Danone and Veolia will share their know-how in an unprecedented alliance and will together explore innovative water, plastic and waste management solutions.
The partnership is based on the complementary expertise that each company brings. Together they will develop projects relating to securing water resources, the sustainable management of plastic packaging, the production of biogas from bio-waste, optimizing energy consumption and alternative energy sources. Pilot projects in France and abroad are already under consideration. They will eventually deploy on all Danone sites.
“Both the form and the goals of this alliance make it a truly unique initiative in creating economic, social and environmental value,” said Antoine Frérot, Chairman and CEO of Veolia. “We are working with Danone to help them reach their 2020 goals while benefiting from major scope for business development. Our expertise is being invested to optimize water, waste and energy management across all of their processes.”
