About

Danone is a leading food & beverage company built on following businesses: Essential Dairy and Plant-Based Products, Early Life Nutrition & Medical Nutrition and Waters. Through its long term dual project to combine economic success and social progress and in line with its framework ‘One Planet. One Health’ that the health of the people and the health of the planet are interconnected, Danone aims to foster healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking habits. Danone Belgium and its employees share one mission: to bring health through food to as many Belgians as possible by offering innovative, high-quality and environmentally friendly products to people for every stage of their lives.

Danone is committed to working in an efficient, responsible and inclusive manner, in line with its 9 Danone Company Goals, which are inspired on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. To preserve and renew the resources of the planet, Danone is actively focusing on: circular economy with a specific focus on packaging and water circularity, regenerative agriculture, the fight against climate change including carbon neutrality and fighting food waste through their entire value chain. This last one is a profound, systemic challenge—not in the future, but right here, right now. Danone is meeting this challenge head on by aligning to Science-Based Targets and committing to zero net carbon emissions by 2050. In Belgium, together with more than 50 other organizations, Danone joined the ‘Belgian Alliance for Climate Action’ in 2020, an initiative of The Shift and WWF Belgium.

Danone Belgium and all its entities (Essential Dairy and Plant-Based Products, Early Life Nutrition & Medical Nutrition and Waters) are B Corp certified, as a symbol of our commitment to being a force for the good by 2025. The company continues to co-create concrete solutions to change the world for the better thanks to being part of the B Corp movement.

Danone is home to two large factories serving Belgium and a large part of Europe: one in Wevelgem for the production of Alpro's plant-based products and one in Rotselaar for the production of dairy products such as Actimel, Danone Fruit, Activia Fruit and Light&Free. Danone employs about 1,800 people in Belgium and partnered with 80 milk suppliers, located on average 70 kilometres from the Rotselaar production site.
