Danone taken to court by three environmental NGOs
We believe that the company's use of plastic contravenes a key French law requiring companies to recognize and address the environmental, health and human rights impacts of their activities," ClientEarth said on its website.
The NGO said it had sent legal warnings to Danone and several other companies (including Nestlé France and McDonald's France) in September 2022, and considered Danone's response at the time to be "insufficient".
Zero Waste France adds that Danone's use of plastic is increasing despite the climate emergency, an 'unfortunate counter-performance' that 'runs counter to the efforts needed to reduce the plastic crisis'.
At the time of writing, the food giant had not yet officially responded to this summons.
