In line with our ‘One Planet. One Health’ vision and to adequately respond to the challenges and opportunities of the ongoing food revolution, we have defined our Danone 2030 Goals.
There are 9 long-term goals. The Danone 2030 Goals are aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations set in 2015.
We commit to the highest quality and food safety standards. Our plant in Kherson is certified to manufacture production not only for Ukraine, but for the EU as well. Starting from June 4th we export to Poland yougurts made by Danone in Ukraine.
We stand for sustainably sourced ingredients; for naturality and transparency; and for simple recipes and clean labels.
B Corporation certification is a private certification issued to for-profit companies by B Lab. Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit.
Our ambition to become a Certified B Corp expresses our long-term commitment to create and share sustainable value for all, in line with our dual economic and social agenda in each country of presence.
Our mission is to bring health through food to as many people as possible. To complete this mission we have created a unique portfolio of healthy products which we are refining to meet the needs of present and future generations.
In 2017, Danone in Ukraine initiated the development of Recommendations for healthy eating and the first Ukrainian Plate of healthy eating. The information was developed by the Association of Dietitians of Ukraine and approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. To introduce and popularize the Recommendations, Danone has launched platform http://www.prozdorove.com.ua/
We commit to sustainable sourcing for all our ingredients and to enhance the circular economy of packaging.
We develop responsive land, water and CO2 reduction programs. For example, our two plants in Ukraine successfully passed an international audit of effective water resources management.
Danone in Ukraine has a local eco strategy by 2030.
We have successfully implemented non-discriminatory HR policies. In 2016, Danone in Ukraine began to work with the Corporate Equity Index. Twice we have been audited by this organization and, according to the results of the latter, are among the top 10 companies in Ukraine with a high level of tolerance.
Danone keeps building sustainable solutions for access to nutrition and safe drinking water for communities.
We build long-term partnerships with farmers and suppliers, customers and consumers, the community and health professionals. Since only co-creating solutions with others we will be able to change for better the way food is grown, produced, marketed, distributed, sold and consumed.
For example, in the framework of “Milk Purity” initiative in Ukraine, we drive the movement for educating consumers in food quality & safety issues by partnering with Ministry of Agrarian Policy and State Service of Food Safety and Consumers Protection
