Playing our part to make a difference

Danoners get involved in voluntary projects that make a positive impact on local communities. For example, in Belgium Danoners are part of Operation Thermos, cooking and distributing food to the homeless; our annual Samenloop voor Hoop 24-hour run raises funds for cancer research. Throughout the year, there are many more opportunities to choose from and thousands of Danoners help out.






Small things make big things happen

Every Danoner can support the growth of social businesses via our Micro Loan initiative. Since 2018 hundreds of Danoners have made small loans of as little as 20€ to help finance new investments or large-scale training programs for social businesses based in Senegal, Madagascar, Haiti, Kenya and Uganda. In 2020 this amounted to more than 60k€!

Sharing our expertize

 

Via our “Impact3” mission, the Danone Communities impact fund matches innovative social businesses that need skills and expertize to grow with Danoners who can help them. By providing free support we contribute to the development of some great social businesses, and Danoners grow as advocates of One Planet. One Health. So far more than 1500 Danoners have taken part in missions across the world!

Giving back to nature

At Zoetermeer, Danoners have chance to join the Nature team and become One Planet Champions. Since 2019 the team has made a big impact with local environmental initiatives, ending the use of plastic spoons in our canteen, installing electric vehicle charging points in our parking lots, switching our printer paper to FSC sustainable stock, and sharing sustainability best practices and inspiration.
