Danone S.A. scores 40/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Danone S.A. joint 283rd of 691 companies scored, and 2nd of 8 in Food & Beverage (meat/dairy).
Danone has strong climate disclosure and verified emissions reductions, but greenwashing lawsuits undermine credibility. Plastic pollution remains a core vulnerability: the company is Indonesia's biggest plastic polluter, and multiple active lawsuits challenge recyclability claims. Water stewardship is genuine, but biodiversity impact from 140,000+ dairy farms is unresolved.
