As part of a global and far-reaching business within Danone, we at Nutricia understand that our behaviour can have major implications for individuals and communities around the world. That’s why we’ve taken care to understand and communicate our responsibilities in crucial areas such as business conduct, environmental impact, diversity, community participation and patient support.
We participate in the Danone Way Ahead, an established companywide programme promoting sustainable development and social responsibility. Every year, we evaluate our performance in measurable areas, particularly those that directly affect stakeholders, including our employees. And we take it seriously.Because these are our fundamentals, expressing the very high standards we apply to our specialised business at Nutricia and to other Danone businesses, the end-of-year results affect the bonus of every senior managers across the company.
We work to build strong and lasting partnerships with everyone we deal with and depend upon – whether they work for us, supply us or buy from us. It is these relationships of trust that are absolutely crucial to our ongoing success. We also support the most vulnerable in society through our Supporting Life programme, which depends on the generosity and volunteering spirit of many of our employees. Supporting Life is a special partnership program with the global charity SOS Children’s Villages – and we join with them to support family strengthening, to sponsor medical training, and to improve nutritional standards in some of the world’s poorest communities.
