Blédina, a Danone company that manufactures infant foods in Europe, continues to reduce its carbon footprint. The company recently began using bio-based heat-transfer fluids for its new refrigeration system that reduces its energy consumption and environmental impact.

When Blédina sought to replace its refrigeration system at its plant in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France, the company wanted an energy-efficient solution that could minimize its carbon footprint in order to stay true to its mission. As a Danone company, sustainability is part of Blédina’s business strategy. Danone recognizes that climate change significantly impacts the food industry. So it works to reduce global warming by helping to contribute to a carbon-free economy. Therefore, Blédina is also committed to reducing its environmental impact. After reducing its carbon footprint by 37 percent between 2007 and 2013, Blédina aims to reduce its carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2020.
