Can you discuss your or your company’s efforts relating to renewability, sustainability, or other environmentally friendly activities? 

Danone has a dual project vision: not only to conduct business, but also to care for the communities where we operate. There is a particular plan executed at both local and global levels, which focuses on caring for people, the environment, natural resources, and more.

Why are in-house lawyers well-placed to drive change in their organisations? 

The knowledge of the business and its priorities leverages you as an in-house lawyer to influence the organisation’s agenda, considering the risks and proper mitigation assessment.

It can be challenging to measure a company’s track record in environmentally friendly behaviour. What, in your opinion, has mostly been missed in discussions about how green a company is?

It is difficult to define what constitutes a green company, even when looking at global standards. However, there are some key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be established to measure the impact and progress of the company’s plan.
