Danone was one of the first multinational companies to start large-scale production and distribution of natural, healthy yogurt in independent Ukraine. From the beginning, the Company has been associated with health and innovation, care for our consumers, and the highest quality control standards. However, business may not prosper if it doesn't contribute to well-being of its employees, local economy and society.
