Environmental Groups Sue Danone in France for Failing to Curb Plastic Use

HeadlineJan 11, 2023

Three environmental groups are suing French company Danone for failing to reduce its plastic footprint. The yogurt and bottled water maker was recently found to be one of the worst plastic polluters, along with Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Nestlé. The lawsuit is being filed under France’s 2017 “duty of vigilance” law, which requires companies to track and reduce human rights and environmental violations. The company markets its products in the U.S. as Dannon.
