The EVE Program’s origin

In 2009, women in Danone realised their co-responsibility in the existence of the glass ceiling.
Women need to take more risks themselves to move upwards in the company.
Therefore, Danone took the initiative in 2010 to organize an intercompany leadership seminar for women and “enlightened” men. 

WHY EVE?

– Because she was the first woman, a player for change.
– Because it is about awakening and evolution.
– Because the event takes place in Evian each year.

2. Two levers for action: the individual and the organization

A seminar that aims to help build strong and inspiring individuals who will drive change throughout the company. 

3. A powerful motto

“Be yourself
and unleash
your potential”

A leadership seminar based on the idea that being yourself and being stimulated is the best way to improve your performance and be a player for change. 

4. The community

350 participants and speakers spending three days together in the same place. 

Over 5,900 women and men are trained and inspired since 2010. More than 50 nationalities brought together in community to share best pratices and other points of common interest. 

5. A HR Think Tank

It aims to share and diffuse best practices, lead the network of alumni and forge ties between editions of the EVE Program.

6. A program that exports well

Danone and L’Oréal have decided to create a regional edition in Asia-Pacific to help dealing with the talent war. The 10th edition of EVE will take place in Phuket, from 2024 July 2nd to July 4th.

In 2024, Danone and L’Oréal are launching the fifthth edition of EVE Africa to empower African women in Accra (Ghana) from January 30th to February 1st.

Common points with the EVE Program international : same theme, same target, same tempo and same content. There will be a regional adaptation in the choice of the speakers.
