JEAN-PHILLIPE PARÉ EXECUTIVE VP R&D AND QUALITY

“WE INVEST IN RESEARCH TO DEEPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF LOCAL PRACTICES, WE AIM AT CO-CREATING HEALTHIER SOLUTIONS THROUGH NUTRITION, WITH AND FOR COMMUNITIES AROUND US.”

To best meet the needs of the various regions in which Danone operates, Danone Nutricia Research's scientific teams promote proximity with consumers and their markets, and develop products close to local needs and tastes.

CASE STUDY: STANDING BY MUMS EVERY DAYAt Danone we are committed to utilising our research to stand by our consumers every day. Baby Lucy was born weighing just 1lb 4oz, and supported in her first days and weeks of life by our pre-term range. For our teams it is a reminder of why we strive to innovate and improve, ensuring supply to all those who use our products.

Days turn into weeks and Lucy continues to grow and make progress. She suffers with reflux so is started on Carobel, something I grow to know well! The staff are always so pleased with how well she tolerates feeds and the weight she puts on…

There are innumerable people who we have to thank for her precious life. The staff of the Neonatal Unit, the manufacturers of all the machinery and medicines that have saved her life, the distributors who deliver all the things she needs, our friends and family for helping us through... the list is endless.

NATALIE MUM TO BABY LUCY

“THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. YOUR WORK HELPED SAVE OUR BABY AND WE WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL.”

HEY! HEALTHY EATING FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

HEY! is an Early Years community health improvement project created in partnership with Danone, Wiltshire Council, 4Children and CHLF.

HEY!'s ambition is to improve the health outcomes and life-chances of young children. Delivered in children's centres, HEY! focuses particularly on the most vulnerable families and for many of the parents attending the programme, it represents their first steps back into learning. To date, HEY! has reached more than 600 families across the UK, to find out more search for 'Hey! Healthy Eating for Young Children' on Google.

As a company we believe it is imperative we give back to the communities we work in. Our social innovation strategy aims to positively impact people's long term health & well-being. As a Danoner you will have an important role to play in delivering our social mission.

“CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY DOES NOT END AT THE FACTORY GATE OR THE OFFICE DOOR. WE SHOULD LEAD OUR COMPANIES WITH OUR HEARTS AS MUCH AS OUR HEADS, AND WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT WHILE THE ENERGY RESOURCES ON EARTH ARE LIMITED, THOSE OF MAN ARE INFINITE IF HE FINDS THE MOTIVATION.” Antoine Riboud, one of Danone’s founders, speaking in 1972.

OUR SOCIAL MISSION IN ACTION

CARERS UK

This charity helps the millions of people who look after an older, disabled or seriously ill family member or friend.

We work with Carers UK to provide information about eating well. This helps carers feel confident in looking after their loved ones and ensuring they are meeting their food and nutrition needs. It’s also essential that carers look after themselves too; to remain fit and well in order to support the person they care for. To find out more visit: www.carersuk.org

DANONE NATIONS CUP

This is the world’s biggest global football tournament for children aged 10 to 12.

Each year over 2.5 million children from 32 countries take part. It brings Danone’s health mission to life by encouraging kids to get active and follow in the footsteps of great sportsmen, such as the tournament’s global ambassador Zinedine Zidane. To find out more, head to: www.danonenationscup.com

EAT LIKE A CHAMP

Making nutrition education exciting for 9-11 year olds.

Developed by Danone in close partnership with the British Nutrition Foundation, this award-winning programme appeals to youngsters by featuring inspiring ambassadors and encourages them to adopt a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

ROB BROWNE GROWING UP DIET NUTRITIONIST

“WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF JOINING DANONE I KNEW I HAD MADE THE RIGHT CAREER CHOICE AND TWO YEARS ON I FEEL JUST AS POSITIVE"

CASE STUDY: KEEPING TRACK It is a great feeling that my job allows me to live and breathe my passions for science and health, whilst making a genuine impact within the business and the wider community. I have been given real responsibility early on, working on nutritional projects which resonate with me and representing products I believe in. Day to day, my role has varied from working with agencies to develop nutritional tools for the public, delivering scientific training to the wider business or collaborating with colleagues worldwide to continuously improve the nutritional standards of our products.

This is a two-year programme where you will gain experience across two of our four businesses based

at our head offices in London, Trowbridge (near Bath) and field based, nationally.

Good nutrition underpins our business and it is paramount that we have the best people

to deliver nutrition and medical expertise.

CASE STUDY: NUMBER 1 CHOICEThe main reason I chose to apply to Danone is because it was the only human nutrition graduate scheme being offered in the UK. After researching the company, I found that the culture and moral of the company really aligned with my own beliefs. The emphasis on developing characters and the vast quantity of opportunities really hit home and made joining the company one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make.

In my current role, my main responsibility is to build relationships and deliver educational updates to professionals who, through their roles, provide advice to consumers on our products. This also encompasses attending national exhibitions and orchestrating informative study events.
