Nutricia Cuijk is among the biggest production sites for Danone
in Europe. Products coming out of the plant will be exported to
more than 90 countries.
Veolia will be providing the Danone’s Nutricia Cuijk site over
the next 10 years with guaranteed levels of availability and
reliability of its utilities, notably air and steam, as well as
ingredient and process water. Energy consumption will be monitored
and guaranteed through Veolia’s proprietary efficiency hypervision
center Hubgrade™. This state-of-the-art plant has been designed and
built with the latest technologies to maximize re-using and
recovering water and heat, thus maximizing the site’s efficiency
with regards to its CO2 footprint.

One Health’ vision and the company’s goal of becoming carbon
neutral by 2050. In commenting on Veolia’s role in the project,
David Boulanger, Senior Vice President Operations, Danone
Specialized Nutrition said: “The planning, design and construction
of the new Nutricia Cuijk plant was inspired by our ‘One Planet.
One Health’ vision – which reflects Danone’s strong belief that the
health of people and that of the planet are interconnected. While
producing specialized infant milk formula, we’re doing our utmost
to preserve a healthy and clean environment for future generations.
On behalf of Danone, we’d like to thank Veolia for their strategic
support, helping us design and build a production facility that
optimizes the resources we use.”
Laurent Auguste, Senior Executive Vice-President of Veolia for

and Operation for the utilities of Nutricia Cuijk's facility is one
main achievements of our Alliance with Danone”, In addition to
Veolia's contribution to Danone's sustainability agenda, the
contract has been built to guarantee and incentivize Veolia for
commitment on performance improvements. This is where Veolia is at
his best and delivers the main value to its customers”.

2016, the companies have been leveraging their respective strengths
and expertise to co-design and implement transformational
initiatives and projects that can enable Danone to create economic,
social and environmental change and value across their processes
