Offline English training for Danone logistics managers

Danone is the Ukrainian branch of the French corporation Danone — one of the world’s largest producers of dairy products.

The company actively invests in automation, analytics, and team development, including its operations in Ukraine.

• Founded in 1919
• Headquarters located in France
• Team size: over 90,000 employees

Our task was to design and implement an English training program tailored to the needs of Danone’s logistics department.

Key objectives:

• Improve English proficiency and organize offline English courses for logistics team members.
• Equip employees with communication skills needed to interact effectively with international suppliers and partners.
• Create an immersive learning environment for logistics managers — with English lessons conducted directly in the office and on-site at the production facilities.

The Business English Academy team conducted an initial language assessment for 50 employees and launched offline English training directly at Danone’s offices and production sites.

Two targeted programs were developed:

• Business English — focused on interdepartmental and external business communication.
• English for Logistics — designed for documentation, supply chain processes, and communication with international partners.

Training was delivered in a format fully adapted to the team’s workflow, allowing employees to learn effectively without disrupting their daily operations.

• Improved English proficiency — 90% of logistics employees now handle documentation, correspondence, and calls with greater confidence.
• Simplified communication with international suppliers and partners — smooth interactions without delays or language barriers.
• Internal learning ecosystem — English has become an integral part of corporate development, not just an external course.
• Business impact — increased productivity and a stronger employer brand for Danone as a company that invests in its people.
