Changes in Board of Directors Structure Mark a New Era for the Global Food Safety Initiative
For the first time in GFSI history, the 24 board members were asked to vote for four leadership positions: two Co-Chairs and two Vice-Chairs. One Co-Chair position and one Vice-Chair position will represent the retail sector, while the other Co-Chair and Vice-Chair represent the manufacturing sector, more closely aligning with CGF's rules for parity-based governance.
Each electee was endorsed by a positive vote of more than 50%. Their terms are set for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension. The newly-elected leadership positions include:
GFSI also welcomed eight new board members: of PepsiCo, of Ahold Delhaize GSO B.V., of Tyson Foods, Inc., of AEON Co., Ltd., of Group Carrefour, of Nestlé and of Walmart.
