Emmanuel Faber became the CEO of Danone in 2014. From the start, he was one of the most prominent advocates of ESG policies in the corporate world. During his tenure, Danone became an example of ESG excellence, and one of the few for firms of its size. Faber also succeed in making Danone the first listed purpose-driven enterprise in France. Nevertheless, he was dismissed in March 2021, after a campaign of some activist investors that lamented poor stock returns. In this article, we first provide an overview of the firm’s history, then analyze what changes Faber implemented as CEO. We also speak about the recent past of both Danone and Faber, after they parted ways. We conclude with a comment on the broader implications of the case for ESG-friendly firms.
