Danone, a leading multinational food and beverage company, is dedicated to promoting health through food. Since founding its subsidiary in 1942, Danone USA has grown to 5,000 employees across 10 manufacturing facilities. As a Certified B Corporation®, it focuses on creating economic and social value, partnering with over 50 US farms to support jobs and agriculture while fostering regenerative agriculture.
Danone sources approximately 90 percent of its ingredients domestically and, in 2025, purchased approximately 200 million gallons of milk from US farms across several states.
Danone’s US footprint supports domestic food production, local jobs, and resilient supply chains nationwide.
Across the country, every Danone job supports nearly three additional jobs across farms, suppliers, transportation networks, and local communities.
Danone USA has announced findings from its first-ever Economic Impact Study, reporting a $9.6 billion contribution to the US economy in 2025.
The study demonstrates how Danone’s mission of bringing health through food to as many people as possible supports US jobs, farming and manufacturing communities, and economic resilience.
FEEDING THE NATION
For nearly 85 years, Danone’s food and beverage products have been a part of everyday nutrition in the US. They can be found at breakfast tables, in school lunchboxes, at airports, in hospitals, in grocery store aisles, and on food delivery apps.
Danone’s portfolio of brands is designed to meet evolving consumer health priorities, offering high-quality protein, probiotics, fiber, plant-based nutrition, and options with low-to-no added sugar.
“At Danone, our mission is delivered every day in the foods we make and the communities we serve. 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 US 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 economy and local communities:
A national food footprint with impact – Danone’s US footprint supports domestic food production, local jobs, and resilient supply chains nationwide.
In 2025, the company’s business supported approximately 22,000 US jobs across agriculture, manufacturing, R&D, and other industries.
Across the country, every Danone job supported 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 develop nutrient-dense foods and beverages that drive economic activity in 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. For example, Danone expanded its high-protein OIKOS portfolio across cups, drinks, and shakes.
This included the launch of OIKOS Fusion, a first-of-its-kind high-protein drink specifically designed to support muscle maintenance and digestive health during weight loss.
Business that grows US agriculture – Danone’s commitment to US agriculture extends across its sourcing, manufacturing, and farming partnerships. The company sources approximately 90 percent of its ingredients domestically.
EMPOWERING FARMERS
In 2025, Danone purchased approximately 200 million gallons of milk from farms across the US, contributing to economic activity in key farming regions such as Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
In addition to sourcing, Danone is committed to investing in regenerative agriculture and farm innovation. The company supports practices that enhance soil health, improve farm productivity, and promote long-term agricultural resilience.
“Having Danone as a partner in our business has expedited the rate we find success in investments, both on the dairy side and the farming side. Without Danone’s partnership, it would be much harder to scale our regenerative agriculture practices – practices that strengthen our farmland while helping to provide the nutrient-dense ingredients behind their products,” states Mitch Schwieterman, 6th-generation family farm operator, Ohio
SCALING MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY CHAINS
Danone has a significant manufacturing presence in the US, which supports a reliable supply of nutritious food and contributes to long-term economic growth. Over the past decade, it has invested billions in domestic production, reinforcing supply chain resilience, creating US jobs, and fostering innovation.
By investing in US manufacturing, agriculture, and nutrition innovation, the company is committed to promoting economic growth while improving access to nutrient-dense foods.
Furthermore, Danone views this initiative not as a one-time effort but as a long-term commitment to enhancing the health and prosperity of communities across the country.
