Danone's mission is to bring health through food and beverages to as many people as possible.
We are passionate about ensuring our products become an essential part of a healthy, daily diet whilst positively contributing to our local communities and surrounding environment.
We believe there is huge potential to educate and increase our consumers understanding of how nutritious products can improve their health.
Corporate social responsibility is in the DNA of Danone:
In 1972, Antoine Riboud (previous CEO):
"Corporate responsibility does not end at
the factory gate or office doors. The jobs a business creates are central to the lives of
employees and the energy and raw materials we consume change the shape of our planet.
Public opinion is there to remind us of our responsibility in the industrial world of today".
We have two key community programmes running in schools to promote the importance of eating well and exercising.
Eat Like a Champ
An educational programme aimed at helping children to understand the benefits of eating and drinking well and keeping fit by encouraging them to adopt the same healthy lifestyles as the champions they admire.
We work together with primary schools to provide, through an active learning programme, an inspiring experience which aims to educate and bring to life the idea of healthy eating.
Danone Nations Cup
The largest global football tournament in the world for kids aged 10-12, involving more than 2.5 million children and 40 countries. The campaign emphasises the importance of regularly exercising and keeping fit in the development of a healthy lifestyle.
Through the two campaigns, we hope to bring our health message to life in a fun and exciting way for children.
