Danone

With over 100 brands distributed in more than 120 countries, Danone is the worldwide leader for dairy and plant-based products. Since its first yogurt was made and sold in a pharmacy in Barcelona over 100 years ago, Danone has constantly endeavored to meet the needs of consumers by offering them healthy local products. Today more than ever, consumers look for great-tasting, natural and sustainably produced foods that support their health and immunity and that can be consumed at different moments throughout the day. These new expectations are fueling new consumption trends, such as flexitarianism (a diet that emphasizes more balanced consumption of animal and plant-based proteins), and a growing interest in immunity, fermented products, probiotics, and high-protein products. The EDP Reporting Entity is positioned to cater to these trends, thanks to its broad, unique and balanced product portfolio of multi-local brands such as Activia, Danone, Actimel or Alpro, and strong local brands.

Danone has production facilities in its principal markets around the world. The Group’s general policy is to own its production facilities. Danone’s many production facilities are widely dispersed internationally, except for those producing Specialized Nutrition products, which are more concentrated. As of December 31, 2023, Danone had 153 production sites. Danone also rents some facilities, notably offices and warehouses.The production sites are inspected regularly to assess potential improvements to quality, environmental protection, safety and productivity.
