GOVERNANCE

Governance is vital to sound management and its role is strategic, ensuring not only regulatory compliance but also the vitality of the business model, its vision and its ambitions. For Danone, governance is based on the implementation of an effective decision-making process, on steering involving all of the company’s stakeholders and on a system of assessment.

It includes all of the procedures, rules and structures that are used to ensure the transparency of the company’s operations and the balance of power between shareholders, Directors, executives, employees, suppliers and customers.
