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:
“Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope.”
—William Penn (1644–1718)
“A noble person confers no such gift as his whole confidence: none so exalts the giver and the receiver; it produces the truest gratitude. Perhaps it is only essential to friendship that some vital trust should have been reposed by the one in the other. I feel addressed and probed even to the remotest parts of my being when one nobly shows, even in trivial things, an implicit faith in me.... A threat or a curse may be forgotten, but this mild trust translates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
