Our Purpose

As one of the top food and beverage companies in the U.S., we make food and drinks that nourish people’s lives. We believe that business performance and purpose are interconnected, and that our Dual Purpose – the trailblazing vision of corporate responsibility set forth in 1972 by then-CEO Antoine Riboud – creates value for both our business and communities. 

 

Learn about our Mission – and join us! – to bring health through food to as many people as possible.

One Planet. One Health.

We believe the health of people and the health of the planet are interconnected: healthy bodies need healthy food, and we need a healthy planet to grow healthy ingredients. Our unique, health-focused portfolio of products helps nourish people throughout their lifetimes – but our belief and commitment go beyond that. We care about where our food comes from, how it’s grown and who it’s grown by, how it arrived on our plates, and how it impacts our health and the health of the planet – it’s all part of our purpose and responsibility as one of the world’s largest food companies.

Danone Impact Journey

We introduced the Danone Impact Journey in 2023: a roadmap for how we’ll reach both our sustainability priorities and business goals while benefiting consumers, farmers and the world around us. We’ll do this by considering our impact – on health, on nature and on people – in how we run our business, make our products and act in our communities.
