Stephen Wynne-Jones meets Pablo Perversi, President Europe, Danone, and Ayla Ziz, SVP Sales, Customer & Commercial Europe, Danone. “Danone today is very different from the Danone of two years ago,” says Pablo Perversi, president, Europe, Danone, of the period since the introduction of the Renew Danone strategy. “[Following this,] we’ve highlighted the key importance of sustainability and health as parameters of choice for retailers and for products,” Ziz says. “We’ve also seen that our categories are key to building sustainability perception.”ADVERTISEMENTThis is borne out in the company’s portfolio, with 89% of Danone products by volume sold in ‘healthy’ categories. Performance without sustainability has no future.’ It’s a mantra that encapsulates the company’s commitment to intertwining health and sustainability with business success.
