Born out of Danone's commitment to establish Evian as a carbon-neutral brand, the partnership has worked to identify wetland carbon projects, develop a CDM-approved methodology for large-scale mangrove restoration and support the launch of the Livelihoods Network, a platform for exchange of best practices in landscape restoration.</p> 2012-11-29
