In 2017, Danone unveiled a refreshed logo and its very first company signature: One Planet. One Health. These words reflect our vision that the health of people and the health of the planet are interconnected. It is a call to action for all consumers and everyone who has a stake in food to join the food revolution: a movement aimed at nurturing the adoption of healthier, more sustainable eating and drinking habits.

Our commitment to bringing health through food is as old as the company we keep. Both Danone since 1919 and FanMilk since 1959 have been committed to making high quality nutritious products that are offered to the population at large, therefore being accessible for every single person. Fuelled by our beliefs we execute the One Planet, One Health vision with a clear mission for West Africa:

Everyday we touch and enrich the lives of millions of West Africans in a positive way by making tasty nutritious food available in a sustainable way..

We are ready to capture the opportunities of the region. West Africa has a huge potential for progress and prosperity. The majority of the population is young, optimistic, passionate, connected to the world and eager to shape a brighter future. However, the region and its 380 million people still face many serious challenges today. A few to mention are Poverty, malnutrition and inaccessibility to good food, Limited power of women, unemployment, insufficient access to health care and water etc.

At Danone West Africa we aim to touch and transform people’s lives, bringing health through food to as many people as possible in the, West African region by turning these challenges into opportunities to have a positive impact on society and thrive as a business.

By 2025 we want to see real impact of our mission of creating One Planet, One Health in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. We therefore, through Danone’s Growth models commit to achieving the following impact targets by 2025;
