mission
Nicolaas van Exel
General Manager, Baby Food Division, NUTRICIA
As a baby food market leader, we do our best to support the optimal healthy growth
of children from pregnancy to 3 years of age. Early life nutrition plays a very important
role and the metabolic programming at this stage in live has a tremendous impact
on the long-term health of children.
It is our responsibility to provide the highest quality products and ingredients that meet and often exceed
Baby Food standards and legal requirements.
We take extreme care during production, packing and transportation of our products to satisfy the highest safety
standards.
We cater for the nutritional needs of babies in line with the latest standards and dietetic recommendations
and continuously change our product portfolio to ensure a balanced baby diet.
We are convinced that our responsibility should exceed fundamental business activity. That is why for 18 years
we have financed scientific and educational programmes of the NUTRICIA Foundation. The foundation supports
top quality research in human nutrition, provides lactation training grants for health care professionals and,
with a broad coalition of partners, runs a national nutrition education campaign for parents and caretakers
of babies from pregnancy to 3 years called „The First 1000 days”.
Moreover, our social responsibility strategy is focused on ensuring equal educational opportunities for children
from rural areas through our “From the Hearth to the Baby” programme. Together with the Comenius Foundation
for Child Development, we establish Play Groups in places where no pre-school care is provided, in which small
children can play with their peers, parents and animators and, among others, acquire social skills.
Andrzej Drosik
Director, NUTRICIA Production Plants
For the NUTRICIA Production Plants, responsibility is, above all, the awareness
of the impact we have on our customers. NUTRICIA manufactures over 250 million
products annually which means that during one year our products are consumed
by infants and toddlers at least 250 million times. The key to responsible business is to
ensure top product quality and to engage those that are sensitive towards other people’s needs.
As a member of a local community, we care for the environment in which we work. We help people in need
and promote healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. We have a long-term approach to initiative planning because
we believe that this is the only way to achieve tangible results. We want to be close to our stakeholders so we are
always open to new initiatives that can improve life of our consumers, customers and local communities.

Artur Ludwiczak
General Manager, Medical Nutrition Division, NUTRICIA
Managing Director, Nutrimed
Responsibility, in my opinion, is reflected especially in four areas of our company’s
activity. These are:
High standards. It is NUTRICIA’s mission to foster medical nutrition awareness in medical circles. We ensure transparency and high quality, fact-based communication, thus I can be sure that our activity is based on high standards.
Patients. We create adequate working conditions and influence the environment in ways that can improve
patient’s life quality or even rescue their life. Some of tools used to fulfil these commitments are, among others,
the Patient Service or product quality control.
Employees. We provide employee-friendly working conditions to make sure our employees can perform their
everyday duties but also follow their own passions and develop themselves.
Development. As the General Manager, I am responsible for determining development directions and business
priorities of NUTRICIA. In this way I can contribute to the value of our organisation and strengthen the role it plays
in the society.
Dorota Pawłowska
Operational Director, Nutrimed
We are an expert of outpatient enteral nutrition and have many years of experience
in this field. Thus, we in Nutrimed feel obliged to deliver best quality service with due
care for patients’ specific nutritional needs. Our everyday work concerns implementation of innovative tools, products and programmes facilitating medical nutrition
and enhancing its awareness among doctors, nurses and patients. To foster these objectives we offer numerous
trainings on medical nutrition that are conducted by outstanding experts. Yet another crucial element must not be
forgotten – open communication with our environment, including our partners and employees. We do believe
that the key to the improvement of patient’s life quality is a dialog based on mutual understanding and respect.
The above-mentioned activities constitute the mission of NUTRICIA Medical Nutrition Division and provide
a platform for our corporate social responsibility.
5
Our Impact
We operate in the Danone Group and we obey our values while building a unique organisational structure based
on dialog. Communication with our stakeholders is run via many channels in order to thoroughly examine their
needs and expectations. The information gathered through dialogue helps us better plan our activities and better
manage our business.

NUTRICIA responsibility in 6 steps
JAROSŁAW LEPKA
Corporate
Social Responsibility
Manager, NUTRICIA
You are reading the first of six parts of Social Report NUTRICIA. Its intention is to present
our sustainable development initiatives. Before we have taken our first steps towards
social reporting, we had thought for a long time how to prepare a publication that would
cover the broad range of NUTRICIA activities and satisfy the expectations of very different
groups of readers.
Searching for the answer to that question, in October 2013, we stated a dialog with out
key stakeholders. Our respondents were consumers, customers, doctors, scientists,
representatives of local communities grouped around our factories, NGOs and suppliers.
The results of the questionnaire clearly demonstrated that our respondents would like to
know more about our involvement in promotion of healthy nutrition, patients’ life quality
improvement and local community support. This is how the idea of 6 thematic reports
was born. We are starting from the basics now and presenting NUTRICIA Our Impact.
The following publications will describe our promotion of healthy nutrition and life quality
improvement through nutrition. Afterwards, we will present our responsibility for the product, employee relations, environmental impact and engagement in local community
issues. Our responsibility report, divided into practical sections, will cover years
2011-2013. In each publication we will update you on our social responsibility initiatives.
A series of thematic reports will make a comprehensive overview of our approach
to business activity. We are aware of the fact that the key element of reporting is dialogue.
That is why we have started with a dialogue and hope to continue it while working on
the following parts of the report. Every opinion provides a precious insight and gives us
an opportunity to improve something. If you would like to share your thoughts
and opinions on this publication with us, please contact:

Our Impact
NUTRICIA in Poland
NUTRICIA was established in 1901 in the Netherlands to solve a problem of that period – life-threatening malnutrition
in children – by high quality baby milk production. The company’s name NUTRICIA comes from the Latin nutrire
– to nourish, to feed. The Polish NUTRICIA was incorporated in 1993 through a merge of the Dutch NUTRICIA
with a Polish company that had operated in Opole town since 1946. In Poland NUTRICIA is the baby food
and medical nutrition market leader. It belongs the Danone Group.

Our Impact
Reaching out
to the smallest consumers
Experts say that early life stage – from conception, through foetal stage and first years of life – is the key
for future health. The nutritional programming occurring at that time has a long-term impact on the functioning
of the human body. In Poland ca. 370,000 babies are born each year thus with its responsible activity NUTRICIA
can reach out to a big group of small consumers.
BIRTH RATE IN POLAND 1
Nutritional habits are shaped mainly by parents.
Their decisions influence the baby’s health potential.
Continuous research reveals most important trends
in nutrition and enables us to even better satisfy
the needs of the smallest consumers.

Reaching out
to patients
Medical nutrition products improve patient’s nutritional status. They are used to prevent and manage
disease-induced malnutrition. Medical nutrition is an indispensible element of effective treatment: it reduces
incidence of complications, especially infections, increases efficacy of drug treatment, shortens hospitalisation
time and, above all, improves patient’s life quality.
Our products contain unique compositions of all essential nutrients needed by the elderly, children
and patients with concomitant diseases that require medical nutrition.

Our Impact
NUTRICIA – a member
of the local community
Being a part of the local community, we feel responsible for areas in which we run our production.
We are convinced that only reasonable management of natural resources ensures balance in nature
and helps develop good relations with the local populations.
NUTRICIA in Opole
▼
The NUTRICIA Production Plant in Opole is the biggest Danone Group factory in Europe manufacturing food for
infants and toddlers with special dietary requirements. NUTRICIA in Opole employs ca. 600 people. Electricity,
heat and water economy in the production plant are among the priorities of our environmental policy. In 2013 we
fulfilled ambitious targets set for the plant. Our electricity and heat consumption lowered to 1186 kWh/t (from the
expected 1204 kWh/t) and water use was reduced to 3,25 m3/t (from the expected 3,6 m3/t).

NUTRICIA Foundation
– Engagement in health of future generations
One of the forms of our multidimensional engagement in social issues
is the NUTRICIA Foundation established in 1996. Its mission is to protect,
promote and ensure good health through nutrition. The Foundation focuses its
activity on three areas: human nutrition research, nutrition education for the public
and nutrition education for healthcare professionals.
Since the very beginning of its existence the Foundation has financed human nutrition research through scientific
grants. It organises seminars, sponsors educational courses and meetings for patients with various metabolic
diseases. What is more, the NUTRICIA Foundation has a real impact on the development of operational standards
of corporate foundations. It participates in a project of the Donors’ Forum called “Enhancing the quality of public

THE FIRST 1000 DAYS
In March 2014, results of the national grant competition for public nursery schools and
NGOs organised under the “First 1000 Days” programme of the NUTRICIA Foundation
were announced. Grants of the total value of EUR 23 500, were awarded to 20 institutions from: Lublin, Chocianów, Rzeszów, Radomsko, Katowice, Rumia, Polkowice, Toruń,
Warsaw, Kraśnik, Gdynia, Będzin, Morąg, Nowa Huta, Lędziny, Gniezno and Sokołów
Podlaski. The awarded nutritional education projects reflected the six golden principles
of healthy nutrition during the first 1000 days. In the framework of the First 1000 Days
programme, in February 2014 results of the grant competition for Food Banks were announced too. The Jury selected six winning projects addressing dietary education for
pregnant women and small babies. Food Banks in Warsaw, Olsztyn, Łódź, Ciechanów,
Częstochowa and Krakow received grants of the total value of EUR 21 100 “The First
1000 Days” is the biggest Polish programme concerning nutrition in pregnancy and during
the first 3 years of life. The programme has been conducted since February 2013 by the
NUTRICIA Foundation in cooperation with a broad coalition of partners. To find out more,

INVESTMENT IN OPOLE
ALREADY COMMISSIONED
In April 2014, in the NUTRICIA Production Plant in Opole,
a new canned formula milk manufacturing department
was opened. The department was constructed in record time
– six months. The value of the investment exceeded EUR 12,5 million. The new
building rooms a modern line with the capacity of 100 formula milk cans a minute
and 15.5 tonnes annually. NUTRICIA will produce 14 variants of canned formula
milk, a half of which will be new to the plant. The products will be sold mainly in
the Middle East, Northern Africa and Latin America from Egypt and Kuwait all the way
to Aruba in the Caribbean Sea. Products from the recently commissioned production
department will be sold to 48 countries, including 23 new sales markets. The plant
extension is naturally associated with production upscale. In 2014 Opole plans to
manufacture 9 million cans of formula milk. The new production department offered
jobs to 30 new employees working on two shifts. With further production development
another shift will be added.

“FROM THE HEART TO THE BABY”
PRESENTED DURING A DEBATE
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE
On 28th March, in the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, at the conference “Participation,
diversity, complexity – development of services for families” Play Groups created
in the “From Heart to Child” programme were presented. The programme was initiated
by NUTRICIA Poland in 2011 to support education activities addressed at day caretakers,
parents and children of up to 3 years. Play Groups from the Piecki municipality were
presented as the model example of a grass root initiative focused on baby care and
education in rural areas. NUTRICIA financed also a study on the impact of the Act
on Day Care for Children of up to 3 years on the development of care and education
services for small children. Participants of the meeting had an opportunity to learn
about the results of the study and see an exhibition of photos showing Play Groups.
The conference was co-organised by our partner - the Comenius Foundation
for Child Development.
NEW FORMULAS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
Since 1st Jan 2014, Bebilon pepti 1 DHA and Bebilon pepti 2 DHA have replaced Bebilon
pepti 1 and Bebilon pepti 2 in the reimbursement list. The modern, improved formula
of Bebilon pepti DHA contains at least 0.3% DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
The new formula has been launched in response to the latest recommendations on formula
milk supplementation proposed by, among others, the EFSA (European Food Safety
Authority). It has been established that elevated levels of DHA from the Omega-3 group
support visual development in infants. In line with the recommendations, Bebilon pepti 1
DHA and Bebilon pepti 2 DHA are indicated in food protein allergy (including cow’s milk
and soya proteins), chronic diarrhoea and colic. The decision on the use of the formula must
be made by a doctor. In 2014 a new Neocate formula was launched. The product offers

two forms: Neocate LCP for infants aged 0-12 months and Noeocate Advance for babies
above 12 moths.
