Page 2 - "Danone has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Forced labour, in any form,has no place in our operations or supply chains...In this statement, we set out what we are doing to prevent modern slavery in our business operations and our supply chain."

Page 3 - "Danone is fully committed to the principles and guidance contained in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We recognise that modern slavery is one of the most serious human rights violations. We continue to develop our approach to identifying, assessing, and prioritising the most significant human rights risks in our value chain, and remediating any breach of our policies."

Page 5 - "As a member of the Consumer Good Forum (CGF)’s Human Rights Coalition working to end forced labour, we have pledged to develop and deploy Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) systems. These focus on preventing forced labour in our own operations, with the aim of reaching 100% coverage by 2025. This includes external workers who are hired by temporary work agencies or subcontractors to carry out regular and continuous work at our entities. The first steps of the Coalition due diligence framework were piloted in our Poland and Brazil business units." "By the end of 2022, 6,658 Danone employees globally had completed the dedicated training programme on human rights and the fight against forced labour."

Page 7 - "Danone sources from over 50,000 suppliers of processed raw materials, packaging or services around the world. Our RESPECT program provides due diligence for Danone’s Tier 1 suppliers (see more details on page 14). "

"We’re strengthening our internal Human Rights Due Diligence(HRDD) process to include on site contractor workers and external workers hired through temporary work agencies (for more information see page 11). "

"Danone’s human rights due diligence is founded upon a commitment to upholding human rights as established in the following internationally recognized standards and guidelines: • UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights • UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights • International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work • OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises • The ten principles of United Nations Global Compact • UN Women’s Empowerment Principles • The Children’s Rights and Business Principles • The Global LGBTI Standards for Business • The FAO Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT)"

"The due diligence we implement in our value chain is governed by the Danone Vigilance Plan. In line with France’s 2017 Duty of Vigilance Law, the annual plan seeks to identify, prevent and mitigate any severe social and environmental risks within the company, as well as any risks within the supply chain. This includes responsible sourcing and human rights. Danone carries out due diligence on its subsidiaries, suppliers and subcontractors. These are the people and organisations with whom we maintain an established business relationship and are mainly first tier and milk suppliers. Looking to the future, we’re now also developing due diligence in our extended supply chain through engaging tier 1 suppliers. This involves requesting transparency, using certifications and in some cases through collaborative projects on the ground."

"Materiality analysis looks at areas of risk or focus for our business, and in 2021 Danone’s global materiality analysis was updated. Out of 35 issues, fair working conditions and human rights featured as one of the top 12 most important issues for us to act on. In addition to the materiality analysis, the salient human rights impact assessment was completed in 2022. This allows us to identify and prioritise any risks to people across our operations and value chain. It confirmed the priority categories identified through Danone’s previous 2017 global social and environmental impact assessment, namely (i) workers employed through outside labour providers; and (ii) four agricultural raw materials: palm oil, cocoa, sugar, and fruit."

Page 11 - Use several data sources to understand the risk of forced labor "As part of our saliency assessment in 2022, we looked to understand where vulnerable workers - women, migrant, seasonal/contract and young workers - were more likely to be employed. We know that migrant workers are at higher risk of forced labour, as their movement and recruitment are often poorly regulated and informal. This leaves them more vulnerable to risks such as limited freedom of movement, deception and debt bondage (through the payment of recruitment fees). We piloted Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) systems in Poland and Brazil in 2022. The pilots findings did not identify significant violations but but they did show the need to reinforce policies and processes and to strengthen awareness about human rights issues and forced labour within the organisation."

Page 12 - "The Danone Ethics Line was upgraded in 2022. Anyone can access it via the internet or via a phone line and it’s available in 52 languages. Suppliers and any other third party can also use the Danone Ethics Line to report their concerns, anonymously if they wish so. All cases are investigated and, where breaches are found, appropriate actions will be taken. Danone has a zero tolerance approach to attacks on human rights defenders and expects their business partners and their suppliers to do the same."

"Danone also has investigation and remediation process in place to manage grievances that come through other channels than Danone Ethics Line, in particular related to raw material supply." (sounds like largely for Tier 1 only)

Page 13 - "Through the Sustainable Dairy Partnership, Danone continues to work towards a more sustainable dairy industry. This means supporting the prevention of deforestation, the protection of human rights and animal welfare, as well as compliance with local legislation...Our Regenerative Agriculture Social Survey is aimed at assessing farmers and workers livelihoods and working conditions in order to develop appropriate and enhanced human rights due diligence.

Page 14 - "Our due diligence doesn’t stop at our raw milk suppliers. Danone also implements responsible sourcing due diligence towards its Tier 1 suppliers of other materials, i.e., processed raw materials such as fruit preparations and powdered milk, packaging, production machinery, transport and other services. We do this through our RESPECT program."

Page 16 - "We conduct analysis on the critical non-conformities identified through the SMETA audits (or those conducted using a similar methodology) and work with the suppliers to ensure they are resolved and remedied."

"Engaging with Tier 1 suppliers and in some cases traders to increase our knowledge of their supply chains up to upstream producers."

"Using certifications such as RSPO for palm oil; Rainforest Alliance (UTZ), Organic, Fair Trade, or Fair For Life for cocoa and for Danone North America’s coffee; FSC, PEFC and SFI for paper; Bonsucro and Organic for cane sugar, and RTRS or Proterra for soy."

"Leading or supporting collaborative impact projects on the ground to help producers address environmental and labor issues in a holistic manner. As an example, a vanilla plantation project in Madagascar supported by the Livelihoods Fund for Family Farming involves 3,000 family farms. The aim is to develop solutions that improve the quality and traceability of vanilla production, preserve biodiversity and boost food security for farmers."

Page 18 - "In 2016, Danone joined the CGF’s collective effort to eradicate forced labour from its global supply chain. To this end, in 2017 we incorporated the three Priority Industry Principles set by the CGF into our Fundamental Social Principles. In 2018, we formalised this commitment in our statement on forced labour. Together with 28 peer members of the CGF’s ‘Human Rights Coalition – Working to end forced labour’, we pledged to develop and implement Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) systems that focus on forced labour in our operations. Our goal is to achieve 100% coverage by 2025, including third-party contractors and regular/on-going agency workers. In 2021 the coalition launched the Maturity Journey Framework for Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) Systems Focused on Forced Labour in Own Operations. Danone participated in the core group which drafted the HRDD Maturity Journey Framework, ensuring alignment with the AIM Progress Maturity Journey Framework. The Coalition is supported by the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM)."

"In 2022, we piloted the first steps of the Coalition due diligence framework in our Poland and Brazil Business Units. In these locations, local cross functional task forces were selected (Human Resources, Procurement, and Legal /Compliance) and trained by the FLA to increase their capabilities. They mapped the business units’ workforce and ran the human rights self-assessment questionnaire on the highest risk categories, i.e. external workers. The findings did not identify significant violations, but did show the need to reinforce policies and processes, and to strengthen understanding and awareness through education and communication. This will be addressed through local follow up Action Plans."

"In 2022, we continued our contribution to the Business for Inclusive Growth Coalition, which aims to scale up actions on economic inclusion, particularly with regards to human rights across the value chains."

Page 21 - "The Frezna project is a Danone Ecosystem initiative which aims to develop a sustainable farm model to produce strawberries. It does so by ensuring robust income for the farms while deploying sustainable agricultural practices and ensuring social requirements are met. "

"The “Inclusive Recycling Indonesia” project Indonesia (IRI) aims to tackle the problem of packaging waste in Indonesia by helping recycling circuits to organize themselves, and by supporting their main stakeholders. To achieve this goal, IRI empowered 2,500+ waste management’s front-line workers so they can have a better livelihood, access to training and better working conditions."

Page 23 - "In June 2020, and with the support of more than 99% of shareholders Danone became the first publicly listed company to adopt the French ‘Société à Mission’ status. A ‘Société à Mission’ is defined as a company whose objectives in the social, societal and environmental fields are aligned with its purpose, and set out in its by-laws. "

Page 24 - "The Danone dedicated e-learning training program on human rights and the fight against forced labour is available on the Group training platform for the Procurement, Human Resources and General Secretary functions. By the end of 2022, 6,658 Danone employees had completed this training. Employee engagement on human rights was further strengthened in 2022with the launch of Human Rights Community Networking Calls. Gathering the local Human Rights Champions (Human Resources), RESPECT Champions, and local Sustainability Managers, these quarterly calls enable information and best practice sharing, and aim to progressively build local awareness and capabilities."
