Danone SA, the world’s biggest yogurt maker, notched a win in its quest to remake itself into the world’s largest socially responsible food company.
The North American unit of the maker of Dannon yogurt, Silk soy milk and Horizon Organic milk won approval certifying it as a B-Corp, Paris-based Danone said Thursday. With more than $6 billion in annual sales, the unit will consider environmental and social goals in its decisions and submit to an audit every two years to gauge its progress.
