We believe that The Dannon
Company’s role in society goes beyond the production of nutritious,
great-tasting foods. We are committed to helping people make informed
food choices to improve their nutrition and health.
That’s why Dannon supports initiatives to encourage nutrition
education through The Dannon Institute, an independent, non-profit foundation
dedicated to promoting excellence in the field of nutrition. Dannon
also supports non-profit organizations dedicated to nurturing healthy
eating habits in children.
For generations,
Dannon has been committed to helping people lead a healthy lifestyle
whether it be through our line of fresh cultured dairy products
or the resources we donate to charities. Dannon is especially
interested in supporting those endeavors that promote children’s
nutrition education in the communities in which our employees
live and work through grant funding, available in 2008.
Through our Dannon Cares program,
The Dannon Company also supports employee involvement and corporate
donations. Last year, Dannon donated more than 2 million pounds
of our fresh dairy products to America’s Second Harvest,
the Nation’s Food Bank Network, to help people at risk
for hunger. All part of our Dannon commitment to helping families
attain healthier, happier lives.
