Introduction and page update[edit]

Hello wiki editors,

Nice to e-meet you all. As you will see from my personal page here, I am the social media manager at Danone. I’ve been appointed the in-house Wikipedian in residence to help ensure that the page is up to date, fair and balanced. My personal mission is to work with you, the Wikipedia community, to improve the Danone page so that the box at the top of the page describing the content as like an advertisement, is no longer needed.

As a first step, I have reviewed the page and wanted to flag some factual errors on the page which I am happy to help you correct. They are as follows:

In the introductory paragraph, the second sentence says “The company’s products are branded Dannon in the United States”. This is only partly true. Not all of our brands are named as such.
Can I suggest amending it to: “Some of the company’s products are branded Dannon in the United States." As a reference, this link could be added to help audiences: http://www.danonenorthamerica.com/our-business/

Also in the introductory paragraph it says: “In 2018, 29% of sales came from specialized nutrition, 19% came from waters, and 52% came from dairy and plant-based products.”

The business mix can change quite a lot at different times of the year so it is more accurate to say “In the first half of 2018, 29% of sales came from specialized nutrition, 19% came from waters, and 52% came from dairy and plant-based products.” Source (Annual Report): http://iar2017.danone.com/

In the main brand section, would it be possible to update the info with our latest update?

- Suggested sentence: "Danone's brand portfolio includes both international brands and local brands. In 2018, Danone’s international brands include: Activia, Actimel, Alpro, Aptamil, Danette, Danio, Danonino, evian, Nutricia, Nutrilon, Volvic. Local or regional brands include: Aqua (Indonesia), Blédina (France), Bonafont (Mexico and Brazil), Cow & Gate (UK), Horizon Organic (USA), Mizone (China), Oikos (North America), Prostokvashino (Russia), Silk (USA) and Vega (USA)." Source (Annual Report): http://iar2017.danone.com/

And finally the Danone International Prize for Nutrition section:

- This prize has been renamed the Danone International Prize for Alimentation in 2018 (reference: https://www.danoneinstitute.org/nutrition-science-support/dipa)

The above suggestions are uncontroversial and purely factual so I hope there will be no problem with these. If there are any questions I will respond very happily through the Talk page. More broadly though, I would be very grateful for suggestions from the community about a longer-term approach to making sure that Danone’s page is as accurate and up to date as it can be both for 2019 and beyond.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Page update[edit]

Hello, I am writing following my initial post from January 15th. I see that there haven't been any comments or responses so far regarding the factual errors on the page that we've spotted and would like to correct. We do believe that these amendments are uncontroversial and purely factual, and thus shouldn't pose any particular problems to rectify. If this is okay, I will go forward with the changes at the end of next week, unless I hear otherwise from the community. I am happy to discuss this further and welcome any feedback or comments regarding the suggested edits. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bola at Danone (talk • contribs) 12:40, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Danone International Prize for Nutrition[edit]

Should this section be pulled into a separate page?
