Opening up to diversity
::DANONE believes that welcoming and encouraging diversity is a way of ensuring the Group remains dynamic. This conviction has led the Group to sign several international agreements on the question of diversity with the International Union of Food Workers (UITA) with a worldwide agreement signed on 8 June 2007. Concretely, this means that the Group intends to "refuse any form of discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality or age and encourages diversity by providing equal employment opportunities, equal remuneration and equal opportunities for promotion to positions of responsibility."
Emphasis has been placed on sourcing, in other words an openness to various sources of candidature. Accordingly, for a given level of skills, the company intends to be open to different types of education, the internationalisation of its staff, diversity of origins (social and ethnic) and acceptance of handicaps.
For DANONE, the strength of the Group and its ability to generate new ideas is directly related to its willingness to welcome a wide variety of profiles. What is of basic importance, in addition to skills, is an ability to attract persons with personality who share DANONE's values.
