    China continues to impress through its fast progress, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit!   The other day, with Danone’s R&I Board, I connected with over 100 colleagues from Chinese R&I and Qualify Food Safety (QFS) teams – teams that are instrumental in delivering our mission and consumer/patient-centric R&I and QFS strategies locally.   Townhalls, marketplaces, and store visits were opportunities to take questions and hear insights from our Chinese colleagues. We discussed business strategy, capabilities, new categories like healthy ageing, our sustainability roadmap (i.e., the Danone Impact Journey), and AI.   With their energy and passion, I’m confident that our Chinese R&I and QFS teams will continue to fuel business growth and innovation!

    It’s been a year since the Water Access Acceleration Fund (W2AF) was launched – a great opportunity to take stock of its achievements and highlight the partnerships driving its success!   Launched in 2023, the W2AF is the very first impact equity fund dedicated to investing in safe drinking water businesses. The W2AF, managed by Incofin, has seen substantial growth, raising an impressive €52 million, thanks to the recent investment by the European Investment Bank (EIB). Our diverse group of investors, including development financial institutions such as Norfund, the Danish IFU, USAID, along with Aqua for All, BNP Paribas have been instrumental in our success. Our strategic initial investment in Rite Water Solutions in India has already touched the lives of 2.3 million people, setting the pace for an even greater impact in the years to come! This week, as our investors convene, we are committed to establishing priorities that will continue to drive our mission forward. Together, we are dedicated to fostering a collective mindset that will ripple out into the world, ensuring that safe drinking water is a reality for all. Join us in celebrating this milestone and in looking forward to many more years of making a difference!

    CEO Danone

    Our General Assembly Meeting has always been a key milestone in the relationship between the company management and our shareholders – those who have invested in Danone. Today was no exception. Together with our investors, we took stock of 2 years of consistent progress and value creation for all, driven largely by Renew Danone.   Our long-term strategy to reconnect with a sustainable and profitable growth model, Renew is anchored in our DNA – a dual commitment to social/economic progress, and a mission of bringing health through food to as many people as possible. At the heart: science, innovation, consumer/patient-centricity.   No strategy is effective without dedicated teams. Our success over the past two years is the fruit of the hard work and passion of our Danoners – thank you!   Moving forward, we will meet challenges in a methodical and disciplined way, and continue to build our resilience, skills, science, and tools to ensure our future success. Looking forward to June, when we will share the next chapter of Renew Danone at our Capital Market Event in Amsterdam! #WinningTogether Juergen Esser
