Grameen Danone Foods was built on an innovative idea: create a yogurt plant in Bangladesh to promote local community development. From the beginning, the business was designed to make enough money to be sustainable, but to focus primarily on social goals -- a revolutionary ambition.Later Danone went on to found danone.communities, offering a mutual fund designed to encourage social business initiatives. Managed and marketed by the Crédit Agricole group, this innovative financial tool was launched in December 2007 with a clear mandate:
- Expand Grameen Danone Foods by building additional plants in Bangladesh.
- Support social businesses consistent with Danone's mission in other parts of the world
- Use this innovative business model to partner with local stakeholders and NGOs, combining their know-how with Danone's.
- Expand the fund's support community to embrace all contributors to the project, including an entirely new type of investor. With danone.communities, these new investors can commit their savings to social progress, generating a social return on their investment. For more information visit danone.communities.
