SUPPLY CHAIN
The number one achievement during my time at Danone must be the actions we have taken to heavily decrease food waste within our organization, and we have found new ways of reaching people in need and with a positive impact on the environment."
At Danone everyone is encouraged to learn and grow. You can develop your skills, travel the world and explore new areas of the business.
Marketing
''A valuable combination for me as an employee is the clear guidance about expected competencies and achievements within my position, while there is also room for individual development ambitions.''
"Corporate responsibility does not end at the factory gate or at the office door. It influences de quality of life for everyone".
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.
The Danone Impact Journey, our sustainability roadmap is a clear, simple and impactful plan owned by everyone - and based on three interconnected pillars; Health, Nature and People & Communities.
Our sustainability efforts are being recognized; In 2023 we received for the 5th time in a row, a triple A rating from CDP (global non-profit disclosure system for worldwide companies) - making us one of the only 10 companies (out of 21.000) to do so!
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.
At Danone we want to ensure that all voices are respected and listened to, and valued for their singularity and potential contribution. No matter who you are, or what your background is, we want you to feel included, welcome and empowered.
Danoners are our most important and precious asset.
