1 DANONE APPROACH ON GHG MEASUREMENT AND REDUCTION AT FARM LEVEL Axelle Bodoy Global milk GHG manager 06/12/2017

2 ONE PLANET, ONE HEALTH The milk cycle key contributor to the alimentation revolution Fostering sustainable agriculture Fighting climate change

3 PRIORITY OBJECTIVE: DANONE CLIMATE POLICY

4

5 CLIMATE POLICY: ZERO NET TRAJECTORY Decoupling growth and GHG emission => Increasing milk production efficiency: Produce more, with less!

6 5 principles of Cool Farm Tool THE COOL FARM TOOL Cool Farm Alliance: 38 business, non profit and academic members > First excel GHG calculator for annual crops > Creation of the supporting organization CFA > new metric: biodiversity > dairy module > water metric > perennials module > Other livestock module Farmer focussed Global CFT Science based Crops & livestock Industry backed I 6 I

12 MAIN GHG reduction levers per region Efficiency KPIs + yield & solids Soy replacement Manure cracking (Belgium) Reforestation + Agro-ecology (Romania + Germany) Focus on YIELD improvement Soy replacement (DanFarm) Feed yields & autonomy Reforestation + soil health (SA) Focus on YIELD improvement (Mexico) Biodigestor Wake US Manure management (Mexico) Windmill US Mc Carthy Solar pannels margarita + big farms Mex? Reforestation (Mexico) Soil Health (US) Efficiency KPIs + yield & solids Grasslands management optimization Manure management (Argentina) Reforestation (Brazil) + agro-ecology I 12 I

13 GHG REDUCTION LEVERS SELECTED FOR MARGARITA - MEXICO Margarita To The Max Increase milk yield: Water ad-libitum Training in diet and feeding Feeders in farms barn IA rustic cattle breeds Increase feed quality: Development of Feed purchasing platform Biodigestor: One pilot implementation with BIOBOLSA (>40 cows) Solar panels: One pilot implementation with BIOBOLSA (>40 cows) Reforestation: 30 trees / dairy cow = 840 trees per farm on average => Co-benefits: shading + forage + biodiversity Soil C sequestration: Introduce conservation agriculture / agroecological practices (>40 cows) 13
