This In spite of a global improvement in living conditions, Europe still shows social inequalities in does not alter our adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. health, with differences in morbidity and mortality according to socioeconomic position (SEP) [1±3]. These inequalities are particularly significant in France, and have been widening [4]. Nutrition, a major determinant of health, greatly contributes to these inequalities[5] with unhealthy eating increasing the risk not only of obesity, but also of nutritional deficiencies and chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases[6]. Food choices are influenced by individual, cultural, social, economic and environmental factors [7±9]. Unhealthy dietary patterns are not exclusive to individuals with a low SEP, but are more frequent in this population than in wealthier population strata[10±14]. Foods of lower nutritional value and lower-quality diets generally cost less per calorie. They are more often consumed by groups of lower SEP[15], probably because individuals with limited resources are more strongly influenced by prices when they purchase food[16±19]. Given that food expenditure accounts for a larger share of a low-income household's budget[20,21], and that cost constraints orient food choices towards less healthy foods[22,23], economic con- straints are held to contribute to the higher prevalence of unhealthy eating among individuals with low SEP[15]. International official bodies encourage the integration of the multiple determinants of food choices in the development of food-based dietary guidelines[24±26]. To help fight socioeco- nomic inequalities in health, economic factors should receive particular attention. However, methodological advice for designing affordable healthy diets is generally not provided in food- based dietary guidelines. In the United States, diet optimisation techniques have been imple- mented to generate a series of affordable nutritious diets, the ªThrifty Food Planº, used to set up the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program[27]. In France, foods with a very good nutritional quality/price ratio, i.e. foods able to provide a diet that meets recommendations for minimal cost, were identified using diet modelling[28], but the cultural and social acceptability of lowest cost nutritious diets has been questioned[29,30]. To address this issue, individual diet modelling techniques able to integrate not only cost and nutrition considerations, but also individual food patterns and preferences[31] have been developed. Based on data from a French national dietary survey and mean national food prices, the present study explored the relationship between income, diet quality and diet cost. Using indi- vidual diet modelling techniques, the study then investigated whether the dietary changes needed to reach nutritional adequacy at the individual level at constant energy and diet cost were dependent on income. Methods Population sample and survey protocol The French Individual and National Dietary Survey (INCA2) survey was conducted in 2006± 2007 by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0174679 March 30, 2017 2 / 20 Nutritional adequacy without increasing cost (ANSES) to assess dietary intake and associated behaviours in a nationally representative sam- ple of French people[32].

  • Global Knowledge Management at Danone (A)
    Global Knowledge Management at Danone (A) At Danone we don’t talk about strategy, we react to the context around us. For me, it’s like a Lego box that you buy for your children. They start to play, trying to find a way to build the image on the Lego box. At the end of the day, they give up, throw out the box, and put the pieces away. The next weekend you put all the Lego pieces on the floor and then the strategy starts. They try to imagine something. Not what was on the box, but what they have in their heads. That is strategy at Danone for me: It’s Lego. —Franck Riboud, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Groupe Danone At the Paris headquarters of consumer-goods company Groupe Danone, Franck Mougin considered his options for furthering knowledge sharing in the company. Appointed executive vice president of human resources (HR) five years earlier in May 2002, Mougin had been working to implement a concept called the Networking Attitude. The Networking Attitude was a way to share knowledge across groups in the geographically dispersed company. With employees in 120 countries, Danone considered it strategically vital to accelerate knowledge sharing across country business units (CBUs). As Mougin explained, “At Danone we don’t have time to reinvent the wheel. We want our time to market to be shorter than that of our competitors, who are much bigger than we are. If we cannot be big, at least we can be shrewd.” In 2006 the French company had revenues of 14 billion euros (€), compared with Swiss packaged food giant Nestlé with revenues of €60 billion, and America’s Kraft Foods with revenues of €25 billion.

  • The Dannon Company: Marketing and Corporate Social Responsibility (A)
    For the exclusive use of A. Awad, 2017. 9-410-121 REV: SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS POOJA SHAH AMANDA TOLLESON BOBBI THOMASON The Dannon Company: Marketing and Corporate Social Responsibility (A) At the beginning . I set the challenge of putting industry to work for people, reconciling business and society at large. I am profoundly convinced that it is possible to be at once efficient and truly human. In leading a business, we must use our hearts as well as our minds, remembering that while the earth’s sources of energy are limited, those of truly motivated people are not.1 — Antoine Riboud, CEO of Danone (1972) At the end of 2009, The Dannon Company (Dannon) was at a strategic crossroads. Sixty-seven years after first entering the U.S. market, Dannon was poised to become the leader in America’s domestic yogurt sector. As Michael Neuwirth, senior director of public relations, considered strategies that would take the company to the next level, he wondered how Dannon’s long-standing, deeply ingrained corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts could play a role. Dannon was a U.S. subsidiary of Danone, one of the largest health-focused food companies in the world. Danone’s global business focused on fresh dairy (e.g., Activia yogurt), bottled water (e.g., Evian), medical nutrition, and baby nutrition. Dannon manufactured and marketed fresh dairy products in the U.S. and was the No. 2 player in the domestic yogurt market in 2008. Interestingly, Danone viewed the U.S. as an emerging market for yogurt, and therefore Dannon’s marketing efforts had focused on growing U.S.
