Today, Hope SA Foundation truly embodied the spirit of Mandela Day through a remarkable collaboration with DANONE SA at Morojoneng Primary School. Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." The day was marked by the inauguration of a brand new library filled with hundreds of books, bringing the gift of knowledge to young learners. Our outreach didn't stop there. The community benefited from free healthcare screenings, food distributions, and sanitary pads, ensuring holistic support for all. The day's vibrant program featured the Deputy Mayor, esteemed guests, stakeholders, PnP, DP World, Imperial Motus, entertainment, and Kasie FM, all coming together to celebrate and support our mission. It was a day of fulfillment and community spirit, showcasing our unwavering commitment to keeping hope alive. As Nelson Mandela taught us, "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead." As we continue our journey, we call on your support to help us reach even more communities. Together, we can extend our reach and make a profound impact. Let's keep Mandela's legacy alive by transforming lives, one day at a time.

Live Your Bold: This month our youthful heritage brand #YogiSip brings you quotes to live by from our very own Danoners. Brightness Khaliphile Magoso one of our R&I Team members is known for her bold and vibrant personality as well as a Danoner who truly lives our behaviours with curiosity, resilience, and a dash of fearlessness: "Living boldly is living a life that has meaning and purpose in the world. It means doing what you are passionate about to make a difference, its living without fear and advocating for what you believe in. Living my bold is really about living my life wholeheartedly, wisely and doing the things that make my heart sing out loud for joy🎶🎶🎶" #YouthMonth2024 #LiveYourBold #FoodTechnology

Today, Danone opens the next chapter of Renew Danone, projecting the company into the future of health and nutrition! That’s the message I shared today with our Chairman Gilles Schnepp and the Executive Committee at our Capital Market Event in Amsterdam, which took stock of our journey over the past two years and presented our path forward. Since 2022, we have radically transformed the company to make it future-ready. With consumer / patient-centricity and science at the heart of our model, we successfully reset the business, improving our portfolio, while investing in innovation, brands, and capabilities. We further linked sustainability to performance, and instilled greater discipline in our operational execution. But the job is far from fully done, nor will it ever be. In this new chapter of Renew Danone – to be written over the next four years – we will double down on the fundamentals while projecting ourselves into the future by pivoting the way we look at our categories; broadening our business models and reach; and expanding our geographical footprint. We will further leverage our scientific expertise to amplify our market-leading brands and seek accretive M&A opportunities. The food industry is at a tipping point, and the role that food plays in health will become increasingly critical. This gives us a head start in what will be a very different world, which, as a company born in science with a mission of “health through food,” will be to our advantage. I am proud to be building the Danone of tomorrow with our passionate and dedicated Danoners and partners!

"Living boldly involves speaking up and questioning life’s norms. It means embracing discomfort and vulnerability, allowing yourself to be authentic and genuine. Ultimately, it’s about being unapologetically true to who you are." Shabnam Siddik, Customer Development Manager shares how she lives her bold at DANONE SOUTHERN AFRICA. Celebrating Youth Month in South Africa and the valuable contribution that they bring to our country. #youthmonth #generationz #employeerecognition
