5 Sustainable development at Danone Sustainable development, development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: the concept of needs, in particular the needs of the world s poor, to whom overriding priority should be given, and the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and our social organization on the environment s ability to meet present and future needs. Brundtland Report
