Forward-looking leadership succession arrangements for Emmi - Seite 2

 

Successful and formative since 2008

Urs Riedener took over responsibility for operational management of the Emmi Group on 1 April 2008. Under his leadership, Emmi has achieved consistent and sustainable performance. With its balanced, specifically diversified country and brand portfolio, successful brand concepts such as Emmi Caffè Latte or Kaltbach, as well as strategic niche businesses such as speciality desserts, Emmi is not only the undisputed leading milk processor in Switzerland but also one of the leading international premium suppliers of dairy products. With subsidiaries in 14 countries outside Switzerland, it is well established and has repeatedly proven its resilience. Emmi recently underlined its ambition to ensure that future generations will be able to experience the best dairy moments as well and to create corresponding added value for all stakeholders with an expanded sustainability model geared towards a netZERO 2050 agenda.

In order to concentrate on the new position and respect a cooling-off period as the designated new Chairman of the Board of Directors, Urs Riedener will step down from his current position as CEO and Chair of Group Management on 31 December 2022. The election of a new CEO will be announced at the appropriate time, probably in spring 2022.
