Danone Communities

We are an impact fund that empowers pioneering and social entrepreneurs who provide access to quality food and safe drinking water to vulnerable populations through local businesses and innovative solutions. We stand by them at every step.

Additionally to our long-term financial support; we provide expertise, networks, and business support relevant to their local context for their journey to success, also fueled by the dedication and investment of Danone's own employees. We're bringing communities together, fostering partnerships, and co-investing with others to tackle the world's toughest challenges.

Our story began when Danone and Nobel Peace Prize Pr Yunus joined forces in 2007. Since then, Danone Communities has been a driving force behind Danone's global mission to bring health to as many people as possible, building a better, brighter future for all.

As of 2023, Danone Communities supported 20 businesses in 25 countries, impacting 11 million people every day, thus contributing to the Danone Impact Journey commitments on health.
