For Gerard CONCHE , protecting natural mineral water is more than a job. It's about preserving an essential resource for future generations. Every day, he and his team monitor the flow, temperature and quality of Volvic water, working alongside hydrogeologists, laboratory experts and independent specialists. Their goal: to continue providing healthy hydration to as many people as possible, while using less water in our processes. Since 2017, they have reduced water consumption by 13%. 📽️ From the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, where Volvic water takes around five years to travel through volcanic rock, he takes us behind the scenes of water resource protection and introduces the teams who have been safeguarding it for generations.

Europe has all the ingredients to lead the next wave of biotechnology: world-class science, outstanding talent, and a strong industrial base. The challenge is turning breakthrough discoveries into scalable solutions. That is why the launch of the Biotech Open Platform in Clermont-Ferrand is such an important milestone. It brings together partners from industry, research, finance, and the public sector to help accelerate the journey from laboratory innovation to industrial application. For Danone, this initiative builds on more than a century of expertise in fermentation and opens new opportunities to develop innovative, sustainable ingredients that can better serve the evolving needs of consumers and patients. I also believe that the Biotech Open Platform reflects something essential about the future of innovation: no single company, institution, or sector can do it alone. It demonstrates the power of combining complementary expertise to accelerate innovation and unlock new possibilities. I am proud that Danone is part of this journey and look forward to what we will achieve together.

Volvic is more than a brand. It is a unique natural heritage, born in the volcanoes of Auvergne and trusted by millions of families around the world. Protecting it, preserving it, and preparing it for the future is our responsibility. Volvic has become a global brand at the core of our business, carrying a part of France far beyond its borders. Yet it remains inseparable from its territory, its people, and the communities that have helped shape its story for over 50 years. As we celebrated this milestone today, I wish to highlight that a natural mineral water company is more than a water producer. It is also a guardian of a precious resource. And that responsibility has never been more relevant. As heatwaves become more frequent and water an ever more valuable resource, the expertise developed in Volvic over decades matters more than ever. Thank you to the teams, local partners and communities whose trust and commitment make this possible every day. And a special thank you to Emmanuel GERARDIN for his leadership over the past five years — wishing Catalin Manoli every success as he takes on this new role. Our ambition is clear: to keep building Volvic as a site of the future and a recognised centre of excellence in water resource management, deeply rooted in Auvergne. #RENEWDANONE Pablo Perversi Olivier Pechereau Vikram Agarwal Olivier Gachon Antoine PORTMANN Christophe GRANGE François Banon

Excited to share a major milestone for Danone: the launch of METAbiotics, our first-ever gut health supplement brand, developed by The Akkermansia Company, which joined the Danone family last year. This launch builds on decades of expertise in gut health and microbiome science, bringing our knowledge into a new category and directly to consumers. METAbiotics addresses a rapidly growing need in metabolic health and weight maintenance post-GLP-1, at the intersection of science, health and digital commerce. More than a product launch, it is a new growth platform and an exciting step in expanding how we support people’s health and well-being. Thank you to the teams across Danone and The Akkermansia Company who made it happen. Willem M. De Vos Isabelle Esser Mehmet Emre Kasikci #RENEWDANONE
