Production
Evian's site in the French Alps was, during 2015, the largest carbon-neutral food and beverage production site in France.
Environmentalism
In April 2008, Evian created the Evian Water Protection Institute to work on three water and wetlands management projects with the Ramsar Convention. The three areas where the projects will take place are Thailand's Bung Khong, the La Plata Basin in Argentina and the Jagdishpur Reservoir in Nepal. Evian has also cut energy and water use by incorporating post-consumer recycled PET plastic into the bottle sizes that receive the most sales. The company has joined with Recyclebank to promote recycling. During 2018, Evian announced that it would make all of its plastic bottles from 100% recycled plastic by 2025. During April 2020, Evian claimed to have achieved carbon neutrality. In October 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed by plaintiff Stephanie Dorris on behalf of consumers of Evian water, alleging that the claim of carbon neutrality was false and misleading. In January 2024, US District Judge Nelson S. Román ruled that the class action lawsuit could proceed, calling carbon neutral an ambiguous term that may reasonably confuse consumers and saying that Danone "expects too much" for consumers to learn what the term means from Evian labels. In response, lawyers for Danone argued that it is unreasonable for consumers to assume that the product "magically arrived from the French Alps to their homes without the emission of even a molecule of carbon dioxide."
