The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), facilitated by The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), has announced the results of its annual board election. The change in leadership structure marks a new era for GFSI, in keeping with recent developments in the organization’s governance and strategy.
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.
