Danone produces and sells dairy products, water and specialised nutrition. The company is organised around the following three core products:
- Essential Dairy and Plant Based
- Specialised Nutrition
- Waters

Within the main divisions, there's a wide range of products ranging from yogurts and bottled water to baby food and plant-based products. Well-known brands are Alpro, Danone, Activia, Actimel, Evian and Nutrilon. Danone mainly sells its products via supermarkets to consumers across the world. The company has a global presence, but the majority of revenue is derived from Europe.

Investment rationale

Current agriculture practices exhaust our planet and need to change if we also want to feed future generations. Danone is a certified B-corp, which means that it has the legal obligation to weigh the interests of all stakeholders (including the environment) when making decisions. As a result of this, we believe Danone's agriculture practices are aligned with the limitations of our planet. For example, the company has developed extensive policies to limit deforestation. It has done the same to promote better animal welfare.

Danone’s impact extends beyond sustainable agriculture. By leading in categories that promote healthier lifestyles, Danone encourages balanced diets and supports global nutrition needs. Its dairy and plant-based products are designed to offer health benefits such as improved immunity, gut health and protein intake, reflecting modern consumer preferences for functional and flexitarian foods. Danone’s water brands contribute to healthy hydration and expand access to safe drinking options in diverse markets. Through its Specialised Nutrition segment, Danone provides essential nutritional solutions for vulnerable groups, including infants, seniors, and patients with specific medical conditions, helping to address their dietary requirements and improve their quality of life. Across all categories, Danone’s brands are recognised for their commitment to health and responsible practices.

Alignment with the Triodos Transitions: 39% of revenues is aligned with the Food Transition and 12% of revenues with the Wellbeing Transition.
