We are delighted to announce that global food company, Danone, has become the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's ninth Global Partner, embarking on a three-year partnership to further embed circular economy principles both inside and outside the organisation. The move marks an important step in Danone’s ambition to produce quality products that preserve natural resource cycles, while also enabling future growth for the business.
Through this partnership, Danone’s teams will work with the Foundation to generate widespread understanding of the circular economy and to drive behavioural change in an effort to transition its brands toward a circular economy.
As well as becoming a Global Partner, Danone will also join the New Plastics Economy Initiative as a Core Partner, leveraging cross-sector collaboration to re-think and re-design the future of plastics, starting with packaging. Danone’s participation in this initiative will contribute to the company’s efforts to co-build the circular economy of packaging, by sourcing regenerative materials and creating a second life for all plastics, as outlined in the company’s Packaging Policy released in November last year.
