Amidst all of the adversity thrust upon us all in these anxious times, Danone has doubled down in its aims to further LGBTI workplace inclusivity and equality. With products being sold in 120 countries, and over 100,000 employees in over 55 countries, this visible support by a major multinational is a welcome message to LGBTI communities around the world.

“Inclusive Diversity is a key enabler for the delivery of our Danone 2030 Goals. We respect each person’s sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity and we want everyone to bring their whole and true self to our workplace. For Danone Benelux, LGBTI is an integral part of our Inclusive Diversity roadmap for the Benelux region, and we believe that we will make progress by participating in the LGBTI workplace equality.” – Judith Laarman, HRDI Danone Benelux
