In 2017, the carbon trust as an independent third party institution as the evian water, carbon neutral certification.
In 2015, before the UN climate convention signed the Paris agreement, Danone group, a French multinational company (Danone) pledged to implement the whole value chain of Carbon Neutral by 2050 (Carbon Neutral).
As in more than 140 markets around the world have many consumer brands of multinational company, in order to achieve this goal, danone decided to first through the flagship product of natural mineral water brand evian to prove its climate determination and action.Danone has promised to 2020 evian will be carbon neutral in the global scope.
To ensure the credibility of its commitment to the low carbon and action, danone and carbon trust company cooperate to provide independent third party to prove: Evian in Evian, France class (Evian - les Bains) reconstruction of bottling plants, and all products sold in North America and Canada has realized the carbon neutral.This is the first carbon neutral evian business unit, has obtained certification in September 2017.
At present, danone of evian products sold in the United States and Canada shows the carbon trust's carbon neutral label on, to promote their consumers have become carbon neutral.
Evian: carbon neutral pilot
By moving the evian carbon neutral, danone group launched a series of low carbon measures to reduce the environmental impact of the product.Between 2017 and 2018, evian per liter of total industrial energy consumption has decreased by 29%.Further reduction measures including:
During 2011 to 2020, invest 280 million euros to build a renewable energy driven entirely by the most advanced bottling field;
Turn to low carbon logistics, including the use of France's largest private railway station;and
In global product packaging can increase the proportion of recycled materials, from the current 30% to 100% in 2025.

In addition to corporate action plan to reduce emissions, and since 2018, evian also cooperate with livelihood Carbon Fund (Livelihoods Carbon Fund) plant trees in the world has reached 130 million, helping to protect and restore aquatic ecosystems and local communities, of which 85 million is mangrove tree, used to improve the fragile coastal ecosystems.
These trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the resulting carbon credits make evian product carbon neutral in the United States and Canada.In the next few years, evian sustained action to reduce emissions, and by living carbon funds to buy carbon credits, will make the brand of all over the world for carbon neutral by 2020.
Today's consumers expect enterprises play a leading role in coping with climate change.We try to measure, reduce and offset our carbon emissions, and select the carbon trust as an independent third party certification of our work.Carbon trust labels to help consumers realize that we would follow in the environmental protection standard.Evian carbon neutral in the United States and Canada for evian globally and carbon neutral sketched the blueprint and danone group.
