Interested in learning more about B Corp™?
Certified B Corporations are leaders of a global movement of people using business as a force for good. B Corps aspire to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problem.
B Corp Certification is a mark of trust: a promise that a company is doing business in a way that meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. B Lab, a third-party non-profit certifies it.
To obtain B Corp certification, a company must complete a B Impact Assessment (BIA) and earn an audited minimum score of 80 out of 200 possible points and recertify - with the aim to continuously improve - every three years.
A total of twenty-seven Danone entities have now earned B Corp™ Certification. As a result, over 45% of Danone’s global sales are now covered by B Corp™ certification, marking significant progress towards Danone’s ambition to become one of the first certified multinationals.

Our ambition is to be fully certified across the company by 2025.
Since 2015, Danone has partnered with B Lab to help define a meaningful and manageable path to certification for multinationals and publicly traded companies, as well as accelerate growth of the B Corp movement into the mainstream.
This goal is supported by Danone’s recent decision to become an Entreprise a Mission (2020).
It is also an expression of our long-time commitment to sustainable business and to Danone’s dual project of economic success and social progress.
