Welcome on danone.communities website.
Our mission is to fund and develop local businesses with a sustainable economic model, oriented towards social goals: reducing poverty and malnutrition. Alongside social entrepreneurs, this support goes through both investment via a SICAV general public but also by a technical support through a network of committed experts who convey their experiences.
Beyond its projects, we wish to share our lessons to inspire other individual and collective initiatives in the service of a more cohesive society.
We are now present in 6 countries. You can find these projects on our map below and in our projects space.
