The study demonstrates how Danone's mission of bringing health through food to as many people as possible supports American jobs, farming and manufacturing communities and economic resilience.
For nearly 85 years, Danone's food and beverage products have been part of America's everyday nutrition habits — throughout breakfast tables, school lunchboxes, airports, hospitals, grocery store aisles and food delivery apps. The company's US business includes more than 5,000 employees, more than 10 manufacturing facilities and a portfolio of brands designed to support evolving consumer health priorities, including high-quality protein, probiotics and fiber, plant-based nutrition and lower-to-no added sugar options.
"At Danone, our mission is delivered every day in the foods we make and the communities we serve," Dan Magliocco, president, Danone USA said in a statement. "We source from American farmers, invest in US manufacturing and make nutrient-dense food — all designed to help drive a unique ripple effect on community health, on and beyond the shelf. This report demonstrates how our business is supporting jobs, the local economy and bringing resilience to industries connected to American food and nutrition."
As one of the world's largest Certified B Corps, here is a look at how Danone's presence in the US impacts the broader American economy and local communities:
A National Food Footprint with Impact
Danone's US footprint helps support domestic food production, local jobs and resilient supply chains nationwide. In 2025, the company's business supported approximately 22,000 American jobs across agriculture, manufacturing, research and development and other industries. Across the country, every Danone job helped support nearly three additional jobs across farms, suppliers, transportation networks and local communities.
Nutrition Innovation as an Economic Engine
As demand for health and functional nutrition accelerates, Danone is leveraging scientific expertise to innovate nutrient-dense foods and beverages in a way that brings economic activity to the US food system. In 2025, the company translated its nutrition science capabilities into new products, technologies and ingredient innovations designed to address growing consumer demand for protein, gut health, plant-based, children's nutrition and more.
Business That Grows American Agriculture
Danone's commitment to American agriculture extends across its sourcing, manufacturing and farming partnerships. The company sources approximately 90% of its ingredients domestically. In 2025, Danone purchased approximately 200 million gallons of milk from American farms across many states, helping generate economic activity across key farming regions including Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.
Manufacturing and Supply Chains at Scale
With a significant US manufacturing footprint and sourcing model, Danone helps ensure a reliable supply of nutritious food while supporting long-term economic growth. The company's investments in domestic production, including billions invested in US manufacturing over the past decade, continue to help strengthen supply chain resilience, support American jobs and drive in
