Danone : French food group Danone sticks to goals after weak start to 2021

* Keeps 2021 goals, search for new CEO ongoing
* Board sticks to departed boss' "Local First" plan
PARIS, April 20 (Reuters) - Danone on Tuesday
stuck to its goal of returning to profitable growth in the
second half of 2021 after posting a 3.3% fall in first quarter
sales, as COVID-19 lockdowns continued to dent its bottled water
and baby food sales.
The French food group, which is searching for a new chief
executive, said it was banking on a gradual reopening of
economies from the second half of this year as COVID-19
vaccination programs are rolled out.
Former boss Emmanuel Faber was abruptly ousted as chairman
