What is the link between rag-and-bone men in Jakarta, milk manufacturers in Normandy and southwestern France, roadside fresh food hawkers in traffic jams in Mexico City, and Ukrainian and Egyptian farmers ?

Initiated by Antoine Riboud, economic and social commitment has always remained a priority. Currently, Danone's managers are focused on their partnerships. In these times of crisis, and faced with increased environmental requirements, how should the company reconcile economic efficiency with social performance and still manage to remain a leader in the food health sector ?
