For more than 100 years, Danone has sought to bring healthy products to as many people as possible around the world. Danone today is a leading producer in three health-based product categories: Dairy and Plant-based, Specialized Nutrition, and Waters. In the Nordics, Danone is present since 1995 with its Specialized Nutrition business, offering brands like Fortimel, Souvenaid, Neocate, or Ketocal, and since 1999 also with its Dairy and Plant-based business - best known for its brands such as Alpro, ProViva, Actimel, Activia, Danio, and Danonino. Danone employs more than 300 people in the Nordic countries, including the factory in Lunnarp in Skåne, the home of ProViva, and some Alpro products. Through its mission and dual commitment to business success and social progress, Danone aims to build a healthier future, collaboratively working together with all its stakeholders—its employees, consumers, customers, suppliers, shareholders, institutions and all the local communities. For years, Danone Nordics has been working on the reduction of the impact on the environment, by decreasing the CO2 emissions, by reducing the use of water or food waste.
