(PRESS RELEASE) COPENHAGEN, 29-Oct-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Maersk and Danone have announced a partnership aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Danone’s seaborne logistics by utilizing Maersk’s ECO Delivery Ocean solution. This sustainable shipping option, powered by reduced-GHG fuels such as bio-diesel and bio-methanol sourced solely from waste feedstocks, enables Danone to cut emissions by over 40% compared to traditional fossil fuels.

The partnership is part of Danone’s broader commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, as outlined through the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a goal it has pursued since 2017.
