Danone Business Game: "Trust"
"TRUST" is an international business game organised by Groupe Danone and its subsidiaries. The business game is a way for Danone to identify and recruit possible future employees, that fit the companies values and way of doing business and furthermore enables Danone to improve its “employer image”. Students participating in the game have to deal with different aspects of the business life whilst running a strategy of a fictive Danone company, on both business and sustainable development aspects. Problem solving skills, analytical skills and resourcefulness are all put to test.
The game consists of three main stages:
- First step of the game: TRUST day: In each participating country students have to set up a 3-year strategy for a fictive subsidiary of Danone. (business and stakeholders’ trust goals)
- Second step, National final: Students present their business plan to a group of Danone directors from their country. Teams are evaluated and the best one wins a trip to Paris to run the international final.
- Last stage, in Paris. During the International Final in Paris, each national finalist competes against each other.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or trust:
“Knighterrantry is a most chuckleheaded trade, and it is tedious hard work, too, but I begin to see that there is money in it, after all, if you have luck. Not that I would ever engage in it, as a business, for I wouldn’t. No sound and legitimate business can be established on a basis of speculation. A successful whirl in the knighterrantry line—now what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts? It’s just a corner in pork, that’s all.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Never trust the judgment of an enthusiastic man; never trust the promises of a lazy one.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
