Some 100 years later, our portfolio is still rooted in the belief that fermented products are a core part of daily life. Indeed, fermented dairy products are a traditional part of many food cultures across the world. Building on the proximity of our brands, our dairy portfolio reflects the simple, natural and sustainable way we meet people’s desire for better-for-you, great-tasting and locally produced foods.
We continue to reformulate and innovate with our products to offer healthy, tasty options to our shoppers. This includes launching new products as well, such as:
- Activia Kefir, which combines our Activia live culture strains alongside authentic kefir yeasts to create a unique blend of 16 strains, plus calcium to support gut health.
We are proud of our ongoing connection with consumers. We keep challenging ourselves to stay one step ahead of emerging trends and tastes. With the help of research, innovation and science, we are ready for the future.
Through our network of more than 500 research and innovation specialists in 40 countries, we focus on creative and energetic teams; local, expert knowledge; building the right partnerships and embedding the right mindset and culture. As we build a healthier future for people and the planet, changing consumer behaviour and trends are what drive our research and innovation work. In a rapidly evolving retail landscape, we also continue to develop our business across all channels, especially in fast-growing convenience, impulse and online.
Preserving and regenerating nature
With close relationships with over 64,000 farmers worldwide, agriculture is at the core of our business and is one of the most significant ways we can create positive economic, societal, and environmental impact. Danone is working to develop and promote regenerative models of agriculture that reduce emissions and water use, protect soil, empower farmers, and promote animal welfare. Since 2017, Danone has supported the implementation of 25 agriculture projects in 14 different countries.
