The ‘Re-Fuel Danone’ scheme looks to make its operations more agile, energy and cost efficient, as well as resilient and more sustainable.

As well as delivering the programme via digital innovation and engineering, Danone is set to expand on its partnerships with local renewable energy providers to increase energy resilience and create shared community values.

As a result of the programme, Danone will increase its use of renewable energy, reduce its scope one and two emissions by a minimum of 42% by 2030 and see 100% of electricity coming from renewable sources and half of all energy coming from renewable sources by 2030.

The change will also improve its energy efficiency by 30% by 2025 through a range of measures including scaling up its real-time management tools which are already live at Danone’s site in Wexford, Ireland.

This looks to build on Danone’s current sustainability progress which sees it using 68.5% renewable electricity across its sites, with six factories independently certified as carbon neutral.
