Danone has reached an agreement with the coalition of environmental NGOs that initiated a lawsuit against it. The NGOs had accused the multinational of failing to comply with France’s Duty of Vigilance law regarding its plastic use, the majority of which comes from packaging. The agreement follows a mediation ordered by the Paris Judicial Court. As a result of the mediation discussions, Danone has updated its vigilance plan to include risk mitigation and prevention strategies. These measures look into reducing plastic use in packaging, developing reusable packaging, and improving plastic waste management.
