about DANONE

At Danone Southern Africa, our commitment to health and nutrition comes to life through our Essential Dairy portfolio, a cornerstone of our business and a key contributor to healthier lifestyles across Africa.

MARKET LEADER

We are proud to be the market leader in the yoghurt (Nutriday) and indulgence (Ultra Mel) categories in South Africa, offering a wide range of delicious, nutritious products that cater to diverse consumer needs and preferences. From everyday wellness to moments of indulgence, our dairy brands are trusted by families across the country. Notably, Nutriday Junior remains the only yoghurt enriched with iron and zinc, essential nutrients that support healthy growth and development.

As part of Danone’s global mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, we are deeply rooted in the belief that what we eat and drink can positively impact both people and the planet. That’s why we continuously innovate to deliver products that are not only tasty and nourishing but also produced with care for the environment and our communities.

OUR APPROACH

Our approach is guided by Danone’s Impact Journey, our roadmap for creating long-term value by integrating health, sustainability, and social progress into every part of our business. This robust set of KPIs drives economic value while delivering measurable social and environmental impact. From sourcing quality ingredients to reducing our carbon footprint, sustainability is embedded in everything we do.
