Iphofen, Germany, 23.09.15. The delegates at the Annual Members' Meeting of the 'Biodiversity in Good Company' Initiative on 22/23 September 2015, hosted by the company Knauf Gips in Iphofen, Germany, elected a new board for a two-year term. The board, comprised of seven members, assumes strategic leadership of the Initiative. The new Chairwoman is Stefanie Eichiner from UPM. She replaced Alexander Bartelt, Otto Group, who after four successful years decided not to be a candidate for the chair again. Mr Bartelt was elected a member of the board.

The Deputy Chairman of the Board, Mr Gisbert Braun, Faber-Castell Aktiengesellschaft, and the Treasurer, Detlef Matz, were confirmed in office. In addition, Edgar Endrukaitis, GIZ, continues to be a board member. Holger Biller from Weleda as well as Pascal Bunk, Knauf Gips, were newly elected.

A special thanks goes to two very committed colleagues who after four years did not run for re-election: Michael Garvs, Bionade, and Michael Scholing-Darby, Volkswagen. 

Dr. Michinori Kutami, Fujitsu, remains the spokesman of the Japanese member companies.
