Kristian Moeller, managing director of GLOBALG.A.P. c/o FoodPLUS GmbH, announced he will step down from the role on May 31.

Moeller has been pursuing the mission of promoting responsible farming practices for over 20 years, establishing the internationally recognized GLOBALG.A.P. brand of farm assurance solutions. From June 1, 2023, Moeller will devote his time to a new role with the EHI Retail Institute, setting up a grievance mechanism system that meets the needs of the supply chain due diligence act.

Continuing their leadership journey with GLOBALG.A.P., Elmé Coetzer-Boersma and Markus Philipp, who assumed the roles of managing directors for FoodPLUS GmbH in 2021, will continue to guide the organization in its mission to foster the global adoption of safe, socially, and environmentally responsible farming practices worldwide.

Guy Callebaut, chairperson of the GLOBALG.A.P. Advisory Board, stated that “over the more than ten years that I have been serving on the GLOBALG.A.P. Advisory Board, I have greatly appreciated Kristian's way of closely involving the board in the decision-making process and fostering the spirit of a stakeholder-driven organization. On behalf of all the GLOBALG.A.P. Advisory Board members, I wish him the same success for the future as he has achieved with GLOBALG.A.P.”
