Danone Thailand picked up four major honours at the HR Asia Best Company to Work for in Asia 2025 Awards, including “Best Company to Work for in Asia”, the “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” award, the “Most Caring Company” award, and the “Sustainable Workplace” award.
The awards reflect Danone’s deep commitment to its people, values, and ambition to foster a workplace culture that is inclusive, caring, and sustainable.
Selected from over 300 organisations across 20 industries, these awards underscore a growing expectation from employees and society for businesses to operate with empathy, inclusion, and responsibility.
“We believe our people are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we embrace diversity, and create space for everyone to grow. Ultimately, it’s our people who help us deliver health through food to as many people as possible and build a more sustainable Thailand,” said Danish Rahman, CEO for South East Asia and Thailand and Laos.
He added that the HR Asia Awards are more than just a form of recognition as they reaffirm Danone Thailand’s mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, while preserving nature and empowering both communities and the company’s employees.
The company creates a culture of care where its employees feel seen, supported and empowered, and it implements practical policies that support the work-life balance of its employees. For instance, its “Work From Anywhere” policy allows remote work every Monday and Friday, and its “Parental Policy” offers extended paid leave for birth parents and adoptive parents beyond what is legally required while maintaining their full salary.
For career growth, the company encourages employees to step beyond their routines and discover new possibilities through bold, structured programmes designed to meet both personal aspirations and business needs.
As sustainability is crucial for business, through the Danone Impact Journey, its employees contribute to both business and social impact. For example, the Danone Day allows employees take part in community outreach activities as part of the company’s campaign to raise awareness about iron deficiency anaemia and promote early, non-invasive screening for young children.
This commitment is also reflected in its operations at its Bangplee manufacturing site, where Danone has implemented solar rooftops, water reuse systems, zero-discharge practices, and has achieved carbon neutrality.
