A leading global food and beverages company
:: With more than 10% organic growth, the Group posted its best performance in its history in 2006, strengthening its position as global leader in dairy products and number two in bottled waters and biscuits.
This performance is the fruit of a strategy balancing a policy of development focused on new frontiers, a growing commitment to innovation and a strengthening of health oriented brands. To give itself the means to realise its ambitions, each year Danone invests almost €140 million in Research & Development.
80% of projects being studied are focused on health and nutrition. Three centuries after the discovery of the benefits of Evian natural mineral water, and almost 100 years after the launch of the first Danone yoghurt in drug stores, health innovation lies more than ever at the heart of Group strategy. In 2007, Groupe DANONE reinforces its positioning as a global leader in the consumer goods industry, with a growing emphasis on healthy nutrition, with the aquisition of NUMICO, holding leading positions in Baby Food and Clinical Nutrition, and with the biscuits business disposal.
Groupe DANONE employs 90,000 staff in all five continents of the globe.
