Dan Danone,

00:00:04

a multinational food company,

00:00:06

underwent a significant transformation by refocusing its

00:00:09

mission and values on sustainability and health.

00:00:13

This transition,

00:00:14

initiated under the leadership of its CEO,

00:00:16

Emmanuel Faber,

00:00:18

aimed to align the company with

00:00:19

more responsible and socially beneficial objectives.

00:00:23

The process began with deep reflection on the purpose of Danone.

00:00:27

The company decided to adopt a mission statement,

00:00:30

bringing health through food to as many people as possible.

00:00:34

The company then revisited its values,

00:00:36

incorporating principles of responsibility,

00:00:39

integrity,

00:00:40

and respect for humanity and the planet.

00:00:43

To translate this mission into concrete actions,

00:00:46

Danone started by re-evaluating its product range and

00:00:49

introducing healthier and more environmentally friendly options.

00:00:53

They initiated ambitious programmes to reduce their carbon footprint,

00:00:57

invested in sustainable farming practises,

00:01:00

and established partnerships with local farmers to support organic aquaculture.

00:01:05

Additionally,

00:01:06

Danone instituted transparent communication with its stakeholders,

00:01:10

regularly sharing progress in sustainability.

00:01:13

They also encouraged employees to actively participate in this

00:01:17

transition by involving teams in social and environmental projects.

00:01:21

Finally,

00:01:22

training and workshops were offered to employees to immerse

00:01:25

them in the new identity of the company,

00:01:27

and reward systems were put in place to promote

00:01:30

behaviours aligned with the company's missions and values.

00:01:33

In 2020,

00:01:35

Danone became the first listed company to adopt

00:01:37

the status of Ereri a Mission in France,

00:01:41

a legal recognition of its commitment to

00:01:43

social and environmental objectives beyond financial profit.

00:01:48

This identity redefinition not only improved Danone's reputation,

00:01:52

but also created a more committed corporate

00:01:55

culture aligned with current societal challenges.
