Abstract
Danone was the leading multi-local food and beverage company which essentially worked in growing categories, which included Essential Dairy & Plant-Based products, Waters and Specialised Nutrition. Over the years, Danone with its 'One Planet, One Health' frame of action, emphasised that both the health of the people and the planet were interconnected. Keeping this in mind, Danone aimed to promote health and more sustainable eating and drinking practices. The company actively incorporated the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and became the first listed company to adopt the 'Entreprise à Mission' status in France. In 2022, Danone CEO, Antoine de Saint-Affrique, came up with a Global Energy Excellence Programme called 'Re-Fuel Danone', to transform the energy footprint of its sites across the world. To accelerate this programme, Danone utilised digital innovation and made use of existing engineering expertise to drive energy efficiency and smoothen its decarbonisation journey. Amidst this scenario, would the company be able to restore growth and drive value creation with its 'Re-Fuel Danone' strategy?
