At Danone, we believe that performance and sustainability - environmental and social - go hand-in-hand: we know they actually feed one another. It is also very clear to us that performance without sustainability has no future, but it is equally clear that sustainability without performance has no real impact. Our B Corp certification, and the high standards it sets, help us further amplify and formalize this throughout the organization, as we keep delivering on our mission of providing help through food to as many people as possible.
We need business leaders to drive meaningful change within their organizations and advocate for impactful policies at all levels. B Corps are leading the way in demonstrating what is possible, both individually and collectively, by setting a higher standard for responsible and sustainable business practices.
