Danone S.A. scores 9 points higher than The Kraft Heinz Company on SINK's sustainability index.
Danone S.A. is more sustainable according to SINK's open sustainability index, scoring 40/100 vs The Kraft Heinz Company's 31/100 — a difference of 9 points.
The Kraft Heinz Company scores 31/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Below expectations). Kraft Heinz reports emissions data with third-party assurance but Scope 3 remains 95% of total with qualified audits and unverified categories. The company is delivering Scope 1&2 reductions but Scope 3 shows no absolute decline. Early 2025 removal of 2030 climate targets from its website signals political capitulation rather than confidence in delivery.
Danone S.A. scores 40/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Below expectations). 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.
Both companies are rated on the same 10-question SINK rubric: Scope 1/2/3 carbon footprint, energy source, nature and biodiversity, resource use, water, emissions trajectory, science-based targets, transparency, and controversies. Scores are 0–100, based on public data, and fully reproducible.
