Sustainability Committee
The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the company’s sustainability performance. The CEO reports on the progress of the company’s sustainability work at every Board meeting.
In 2020, BioGaia established a Sustainability Committee comprising representatives from across the company, including a Board member and the CEO. This Committee’s work is headed by BioGaia’s Sustainability Manager and the Committee meets four times per year.
