WOMEN: AN
INTEGRAL PART OF
DANONE'S SOCIETAL
MISSION
Danone’s
mission is to “bring health through food
to as many people as possible.” The company
applies this societal mission to the four businesses
it operates in: Dairy products, Water, Early Life
Nutrition and Medical nutrition. In each of them
it focuses on providing healthy and high quality
products.
Danone’s mission and core business connects it at
a global level to a set of major societal stakes linked
to hunger alleviation, global improvement in health
and nutrition awareness. Due to the specificity of
its production processes and value chain, Danone
also deals on the upstream, with critical issues
related to agriculture and on the downstream with
waste management. As women play a key role in
each of these domains, in addition to being the
ones responsible for buying food in most families,
their condition and Danone’s activities and societal
mission are closely linked.
