This words were pronounced by the first CEO of Danone, Antoine Riboud, during a groundbreaking speech in 1972 at the Marseille Economic Forum. He outlined his vision of a "dual project" for businesses, emphasizing the importance of balancing economic success with social and environmental responsibility. Companies should strive to achieve profitability while also serving employees fulfilment and the interests of society and environment, this is the base of who we are today as a company.
Danone joined the B-Corp movement in 2015, committing to being one of the first multinationals to be globally certified - today +82,5% of our sales are B Corp certified.
Being B Corp means to be part of a select movement of companies verified to be meeting the highest standards of social and environmental criteria and using business as a force for good.

We aim to have a diversity that represents the societies we live in, the partners we work with, and the customers and consumers we work for.
