Danone has extended its partnership with a charity that works to tackle food waste and loneliness for a further two years.

The food and drinks firm has already worked with Food Cycle since 2023. This has seen more than 180 of its staff support the charity with 1,000 hours of volunteering and through fundraising activity.

Danone has also provided scientific and nutrition expertise to help develop healthier eating resources and supported FoodCycle’s advocacy efforts.

Further work has included sponsoring the charity’s Your Place at the Table report, which called for better access to nutritious, sustainable food amid rising diet‐related diseases.

“At a time when rising living costs are placing added pressure on communities, FoodCycle’s work has never been more vital,” said Hannah Cornick, head of sustainability and social innovation at the firm, which produces brands such as Evian, Volvic, Aptamil, and Cow & Gate.

“We’re proud to renew this important partnership and continue supporting healthier, more resilient communities across the country through better access to nutritious food.”

Foodcycle chief executive Sophie Tebbetts added: “Danone’s support has been invaluable over the last three years from colleagues volunteering, to sharing their nutrition expertise, it has felt truly collaborative from the start.

“The extension of the partnership means that together, we can continue to deliver meaningful, lasting impact through our community meals.”
