Lighter options continue to be introduced as consumers are increasingly concerned about their health. DANONE LTD Corporate Strategy Danone Ltd was originally established as a branch of Danone Belgium, but became an independent company in It is one of four subsidiaries in the UK, ultimately forming part of the French corporation, Groupe Danone. The company is responsible for the distribution of Danone’s yoghurt products in the UK. These are Actimel, Activia, Shape, Delight and Oykos. The other three businesses in the UK are Danone Waters UK and Ireland, which distributes Evian, Volvic and Badoit waters; Danone Baby Nutrition, which supplies Cow & Gate and Aptamil products for infants; and Nutricia Medical, which specialises in nutrition used as part of disease treatments. Groupe Danone operates over 120 countries throughout the world. In 2007, Danone sold its biscuit operations to Kraft to focus on its dairy and water brands. In June 2012, Groupe Danone was forced to issue a profit warning. The company has struggled to cope with the economic crisis in Europe and an unanticipated rise in the cost of raw materials. According to an article by The Grocer on 19th June 2012, Danone plans to cope with the situation by launching a programme of price cuts in markets in countries in southern Europe, such as Spain. It hopes that this will make its products more competitive and boost profit. In July, Danone jumped on the growing breakfast yoghurt trend with the launch of three granola-topped single-serve yoghurts under its Activia brand. The products are available in Vanilla, Peach and Hint of Honey flavours. The granola is available in a separate ‘top hat’ lid. In January 2013, the company launched two special edition flavours: Activia Pear joined its Core range, while Activia Pineapple was added to the Single Pot series.
