Regarding its direct suppliers, the Company conducted the remaining six audits from its 2019 audit plan in the first quarter of 2020 using the SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) protocol. As travel was restricted due to the Covid-19 health crisis, Danone focused mainly on (i) improving its assessment procedure to identify high-impact suppliers in regions and for the priority categories, which has led to the co-construction of the 2021 audit plan, and (ii) providing resources to help suppliers improve their performance. Lastly, Danone uses the results ob- tained from its water risk analysis to define its priorities and water management plans for ingredients produced in high or extreme water risk areas.
