Today, the Top Employers Institute, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, announced the "2023 China Top Employers Certification", and Danone China was named to the Top 20, marking the sixth consecutive year that the company has achieved this certification.
It is reported that the "Top Employer Certification" is an objective recognition of the company's contribution to providing a working environment and career development for employees, and it is also one of the most influential and appealing annual selections in the field of human resources in the world.
Bruno Chevot, President of Danone China, North Asia and Oceania, said, "We have always adhered to Danone's 'dual responsibility' and are committed to creating a passionate and positive working environment for every employee, which is an important concept deeply rooted in Danone's DNA. This "China Top Employer certification" will motivate us to further promote Danone's growth with our employees in China."
Care for the well-being of our employees
David Plink, CEO of Top Employers Research, said: "Extraordinary times can often bring out the best in individuals and organizations. ”
In the past year, the epidemic has had a great impact on people's lives and work, and Danone, as a multinational food and beverage company, has always adhered to the concept of "people-oriented" and paid attention to the physical and mental health and growth of Chinese employees.
"During the most tense period of the pandemic, the first supplies I received were not from the community or group buying, but vegetables and food delivered by the company late at night. My family is proud that I work for such a loving company. A Danone Shanghai employee said.

At Danone, all employees enjoy 24/7 professional psychological counseling services to help balance body and mind. An employee who used to use psychological counseling services said, "The psychological counselors provided by the company provided very effective psychological counseling for my adolescent son, successfully helped the child out of the growth dilemma, and also saved me from the worries of family chores." ”
In terms of talent development, Danone continues to create learning and growth opportunities for employees. In 2022, 94% of employees enriched themselves with training provided by the company. More than half of the company's management positions come from internal talent development, and nearly eighty percent of senior executives. With 48% of Danone's management staff in Greater China being women, inclusion and multiculturalism are embedded in every aspect of talent development.
Sharing health and protecting the planet
Adhering to the corporate mission of "bringing health to as many people as possible through food", Danone, which owns many star brands such as Aitami, Pulse and Newcom, has recently launched new brands such as Lingqi and Dangmai "for China", empowering the health of Chinese consumers through health products covering the whole life cycle.
Danone's factories in China have been vigorously promoting carbon emission reduction and contributing to a "beautiful China". In 2022, two factories of Pulse were the first in the beverage industry to obtain carbon neutral factory certification. At present, all business units of Danone China have obtained B-Corp certification.
Empowering society
Back in 2013, Danone launched NutriGo, which helps improve the nutritional health of children in poor areas by providing nutrition packs to poor areas. At the same time, nutrition training has been organized in poor areas to achieve scientific feeding.
The company has also launched a number of public welfare projects such as "Rainbow Care Program" and "Purple Ribbon Family Nutrition Care" to meet the special nutritional needs of niche groups such as children with rare diseases of phenylketonuria and enteral nutrition treatment patients, and many public welfare projects have benefited more than 200,000 consumers.
Rainbow Care Program
Since 2022, Pulse has launched the "Pathfinder Program", working with China Guanghua Science and Technology Foundation and Tianjin University of Technology to sponsor and support 100 young migrant workers to relive their university dreams every year, providing them with financial support and career counseling.
