MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT
I’m proud that I can discuss environmental issues with my son and share with him what we’re doing around packaging; Volvic bottles are now 100% recyclable - that makes an impact.
I’m also proud that Danone isn’t just about employing lots of people to fill lots of roles so we can grow; it’s about investing in people’s futures, so they can grow within the company. And that has a real impact on why our people stay.

SUPPORTED AND VALUED
For someone in a top leadership position to dedicate at least one meeting a
month to me, to support me in my new role, is an example of how leaders in the
group help talent grow.
EMPOWERMENT, FREEDOM AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
When I first joined Danone, I was rather shocked. I expected the standard, big organisation, top-down processes. But the exact opposite of that happened. Straightaway a colleague told me, we have a process, but it’s one where everyone can challenge and collaborate. Within my first month, that’s what I was doing, voicing my ideas, and collaborating across teams and management levels. That's where Danone is different. They give people a lot of empowerment, freedom, and entrepreneurship.

GROWTH IS AN ONGOING PROCESS
Because we are on a mission that is so closely associated with health and the environment, we will encourage more people to join us. And of course, to fully understand the mission, learning is vital to this. This is true for current colleagues too,
it’s an ongoing process for us all.
