PARIS, May 14, 2024 /3BL/ - **The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) is pleased to present the participants of its newly formed Technical Committee.**

As the consumer goods industry’s benchmark of choice to help drive trust and harmonisation among sustainability standards worldwide, the SSCI launched its Technical Committee to oversee the technical processes including reviewing the benchmarking process, incorporating lessons from past years, optimising efficiency, and fostering collaboration for a streamlined and impactful benchmarking experience.

The members of the committee are Elles de Jonge-Bosch, Manager Quality and Sustainability for EMD; Karin van den Houten – Bogaers, Director of Ethical Engagement and Human Rights, Ahold Delhaize; and Wyatt Maysey, Director of Sustainability, Taylor Fresh Foods. The committee is looking for a fourth member from the manufacturing sector.

**Luiza Reguse, Senior Manager of the SSCI for the CGF**, said, “Aware of the importance of sustainability standards in today’s global supply chains, the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative is pleased to introduce the esteemed participants of our newly formed Technical Committee. This committee plays a crucial role in refining our benchmarking processes, drawing from past experiences, and fostering collaboration for a more impactful journey. We are dedicated to promoting a culture of sustainability excellence within our industry.

“Through the efforts of the Technical Committee, we aim to improve the practices of responsible business and inspire meaningful change throughout the supply chain. We invite companies and organisations passionate about advancing sustainability to join us in the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) and contribute to our shared mission of creating positive environmental and social impacts worldwide.”
