The mission of Danone Waters Germany is to inspire people towards healthier hydration. At the heart of this endeavor is Danone’s signature 'ONE PLANET. ONE HEALTH', recognizing the interconnection of the health of the people and the planet. A defining characteristic of natural mineral waters is their complete naturalness and purity. Therefore, Volvic and evian constantly work with local communities and stakeholders to protect and restore the natural water ecosystem of their sources and improve access to safe drinking water. Packaging innovation is key: all Volvic PET deposit bottles sold in Germany have been made from 100 percent recycled PET since 2020 and all evian formats are to be made from 100 percent recycled plastic latest by 2025 (cap and label excluded). Thanks to the deposit system in Germany, about 99 percent of all PET deposit bottles are being returned and about 97 percent are recycled. Following longtime carbon reductions and the compensation of all residual emissions, the natural mineral water brands evian and Volvic are both worldwide certified as climate neutral by the independent organization The Carbon Trust.
