Danone

We have become a world leader in four businesses: Essential Dairy and Plant-Based Products, Early Life Nutrition, Medical Nutrition and Waters. Building on a unique health-focused portfolio that allows us to be a key player in the food revolution. 

Today’s consumers want healthier and responsibly produced food and drinks. To meet those needs, we strive to deliver healthy products and better-for-you alternatives for moments of indulgence, brought by purpose-led brands. We offer diverse choices and solutions for different occasions and moments of the day.

ESSENTIAL DAIRY AND PLANT-BASED PRODUCTS  

We offer fresh dairy products as well as plant-based products and beverages, two distinct but complementary pillars. Started in 1919 with the creation of the first yogurt in a pharmacy in Barcelona, fresh dairy products (notably yogurt) is Danone’s original business. They are natural, fresh, healthy and local.

The plant-based products and beverages line that came with the acquisition of WhiteWave in April 2017 combines natural or flavored beverages made from soy, almonds, coconuts, rice, oats, etc., as well as plant-based alternatives to yogurt and cream (cooking products). Through this acquisition, Danone seeks to develop and promote the plant-based category around the world.

Thanks to this expanded and more diversified portfolio, Danone can satisfy the growing demand for natural, nutritious and environmentally friendly products as well as the needs of ‘flexitarians’, i.e. consumers looking to diversify their sources of protein, for whom plant-based products represent an alternative meeting their needs.
