A Mission to Bring Health Through Food
Committed to Danone’s global mission to “bring health through food to as many people as possible,” the SEA business integrates sustainability with growth through the Danone Dual Project. This strategy ensures that environmental and social responsibility remain at the core of business operations. The Danone Impact Journey (DIJ) serves as a roadmap for achieving these goals, guiding initiatives that promote sustainable practices and positive community impact.
Advancing Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Danone in SEA is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint through sustainable manufacturing and supply chain practices. Aligned with the 1.5°C Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the company is on track to achieve its CO2 reduction targets by 2030.

These efforts demonstrate Danone’s leadership in environmental stewardship across the region.
Addressing Health Challenges Through Innovation
Danone actively tackles Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), a prevalent health issue among children in SEA, through its Iron-Fortification Initiative. By developing iron-fortified milk products, the company supports healthy child development. In partnership with local governments, Danone also provides non-invasive IDA screening tools and questionnaires, facilitating early detection and prevention. Additionally, the company promotes balanced nutrition and dietary education through the Nutrition Education Initiative, working closely with healthcare institutions and government agencies.
