LRQA’s Cor Groenveld named chairman of FFSC Board

Cor Groenveld, LRQA global head of food supply chain services, has been re-elected as chairman of the Foundation for Food Safety Certification (FFSC) Board, with his term of office being for the next five years.

The Foundation is the owner of the food safety management system certification scheme, FSSC 22000, covering manufacturing of food products, ingredients and packaging material and will shortly incorporate animal feed into its scope.

Retailers and food manufacturers are increasingly applying a risk-based management systems approach across all of their sites and suppliers, helping them drive sustainability and food safety across their global supply chains.

Groenveld said: "The Foundation does a tremendous amount of work in promoting the value of independent assurance and food safety and I am looking forward to meeting the challenges that lie ahead to ensure that we keep our food supply chains safe and sustainable." ​
