Over 30 years ago,Antoine Riboud formalised the dual commitment to businessperformance and social progress for Groupe DANONE around the idea that economicdevelopment and social progress were interdependent.This strong conviction helped
structure the development and organisation of the Group and inspired avoluntary policy
of social responsibility and of human relations.
Within the context of globalisation, DANONE has to continue to deliver financial results,
whilst reinforcing its awareness of local environments, creating value for the company and
value for society at large.
Today, DANONE wants to start a new section of this journey and develop an innovative
social initiative in line with its mission to “bring health through food to a majority of people”.
The Grameen DANONE Foods project is the best illustration of this ambition and addresses
the poorest people in an emerging country, whilst aiming to improve nutrition and reduce
poverty by contributing to the local economy.
In Bangladesh, as in other countries where we want to develop this type of project, there is
no question of charity.These initiatives are realised within the context of experimentation
and apprenticeship for the mid/long term of DANONE.
To this end, they are subject to finance and specific profitability criteria, taking social results
into account.The reason for this is that the individual solutions found (taking into accounts
the costs, production and distribution methods, etc.) show themselves to be as viable as they
are sustainable and multipliable. Economic and social factors are not mutually exclusive.
In order to accompany this social innovative step, whilst ensuring that the basic pillars of
sustainable development are well-anchored in the core of operations of all the companies
in the group, the board of directors has decided to set up a governance body dedicated to
these questions: the Social Responsibility Committee.
Its mission will consist of:
- evaluating the results of the local initiatives in terms of company innovation, and formulating
recommendations so that new ones may be taken,
- analysing the reality of internal practices in terms of social responsibility, based on the
assessments of subsidiaries in the five basic areas covering the challenges facing DANONE,
especially in terms of human rights, human resources, the environment, customers and
consumers, governance and relations with local communities.
These two working areas form the new DANONEWay initiative,“DANONEWay Ahead”.
