On this occasion, His Excellency Eric Chevallier praised the initiative. Two French companies forming alliances to build strong partnerships by drawing on what makes French economic presence in Egypt so impactful : value added, job creation, training and focus on talents, contribution to the economic growth and, in this case also improving access to quality nutrition in rural areas, and reducing the carbon footprint of their operations. Echoing this sentiment, Hesham Radwan, General Manager of Danone Egypt stated, "We are proud of this strategic partnership with Bel Egypt, which brings together two French companies with global legacies and long-standing roots in Egypt.

This partnership is a powerful step forward on our journey to fulfill Danone's core purpose—bringing health through food to as many people as possible.' Hany Arram, Regional Manager of Bel Egypt and North East Africa, commented: 'This partnership with Danone is a key milestone in Bel Egypt's mission to serve more Egyptian families, responsibly, sustainably, and at scale. We are proud to collaborate with a like-minded partner that shares our commitment to social impact and inclusive growth.
