50/50: New Management Board sees quartet comprising two women and two men

The new Management Board will comprise a quartet: the CFO, the CEO und the jointly held CDO post. The new Board represents strong development of the edding Group with its new profit-for strategy. It also stands for change and digital transformation. The edding Group has committed to many goals by 2026: as a medium-sized company, it is currently in the process of strategic transformation from a profit-oriented company (for profit) into a purpose-oriented (profit-for) company with environmental and social sustainability at its core. For a few years now, the Preamble to edding’s Articles of Association has stated that the company should encourage sustainable business development. The vision from the outset: to create and maintain a liveable world for future generations. The realignment of the company helps the edding Group take a step closer to that goal.
