[SP] Queremos expresar nuestra solidaridad y apoyo a las familias afectadas por la DANA, especialmente en la Comunidad Valenciana. Nuestro vínculo con Valencia es muy especial y cercano. Allí contamos con un gran equipo repartido entre nuestra fábrica y delegados comerciales, así como familias ganaderas con las que colaboramos y socios logísticos y comerciales. En estos momentos tan duros, lo más esencial para nosotros ha sido cuidar y proteger a todos los que forman parte de la gran familia Danone en Valencia. También hemos querido estar al lado de las familias de las zonas más afectadas y desde el primer día estamos canalizando todas nuestras donaciones a través de Cruz Roja y Banco de Alimentos para aportar alimentos de primera necesidad como agua mineral natural, leche de fórmula para bebés y bebidas vegetales, atendiendo a las demandas que surgen en cada momento. Seguimos muy de cerca la situación y estamos en contacto permanente con nuestros equipos, colaboradores y entidades para seguir ayudando en todo lo que esté en nuestra mano. Nuestro 💙 está con vosotros, Valencia. [ENG] We would like to express our solidarity and support to the families affected by the DANA in Spain, especially in the Valencian Community.   Our link with Valencia is very special and close. We have a large team there, including our factory and commercial representatives, livestock farming families with whom we collaborate and logistical and commercial partners. In these difficult times, the most important thing for us has been to care for and protect all those who are part of the great Danone family in Valencia.   We have also wanted to be at the side of the families in the most affected areas and from day one we have been organizing all our donations through the Red Cross and the Food Bank to provide basic products such as natural mineral water, baby formula milk and plant based drinks, attending to the demands that arise at all times.   We follow the situation closely and are in constant contact with our teams, collaborators and organizations to continue helping in any way we can.   Our 💙 is with you, Valencia.

In our ongoing commitment to support local businesses and thrive alongside our people and communities, we are proud to announce that we have begun sourcing Ghanaian-made chocolate chips for our premium American Vanilla ice cream from fairafric. This partnership is an integral part of our Danone Impact Journey, reflecting our dedication to driving #economic growth, supporting indigenous Ghanaian businesses, and creating more #sustainable employment within our value chain. To ensure the long-term positive impact of this initiative, both companies have pledged to remain committed to promoting sustainable practices in their operations, ensuring that production processes are #environmentally friendly and socially responsible. #DanoneImpactJourney #BringBackthePride #LocalSourcing

At Danone, we recognize that informal caregivers are essential partners in our mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible! They are often the ones noticing health changes in their loved ones, the ones driving them to medical appointments, and the ones supporting with practical every-day tasks like eating and drinking. What we learn from them helps us meet the needs of those they care for and support better outcomes for millions. That’s why we recently partnered with Ipsos France to ask 1,600 informal caregivers in Europe about their experience of caring for their loved ones. Today especially, on International Day of Care and Support, we recognize their diverse experiences and their positive impact on the wellbeing of those they care for. Stay tuned for more insights from our survey in the coming weeks.   #Danone #Caregivers #InternationalDayOfCareAndSupport #PatientWellbeing

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF FOOD The future of food is unfolding today, driven by the power of science and technology. This was the central theme of Danone R&I Leaders’ Meeting in Barcelona, Danone’s birthplace over a century ago. The inspiring event brought together Danone’s leading scientific minds—from experts in biotics and protein to pioneers in sustainability—all focused on creating innovative, sustainable solutions for consumers and patients. Gen AI was also a key highlight, showcasing its potential to accelerate the future of food. We were proud to honor our talented experts, nominating six distinguished fellows recognized for their contributions to advancing knowledge and impact, both within Danone and across the industry. With exceptional talent, state-of-the-art facilities, and an unwavering commitment to innovation, the future of Danone R&I is bright. Science and innovation are leading the way forward.

A Look Back at #Danone Day 🌟 A special day celebrated with Danoners from around the world to connect and share our values and news. This year, some Danoners were out in the field alongside our sales teams, meeting with customers. All around the globe, Danoners participated in various activities focused on #innovations, #products, and #consumers 🌍✨

Dairy products are among the most nutrient-dense foods available contributing to healthy diets for billions of people worldwide. And the world will need more of it in the future. Yet, dairy farmers face significant challenges, from climate change to financial pressures. At the IDF World Dairy Summit 2024, I shared that our industry is at a point of inflexion and a collective effort is needed to drive systemic change. We must scale up collaboration and drive greater public-private investment. Because, while farmers produce 100% of our food, they only receive 4% of financing. We must create conditions that ensure the world continues to benefit from dairy protein in a sustainable and resilient way. The future of the dairy economy and food sovereignty depend on collective action! And there, farmers are the solution, not the problem.
