Governance

GMP+ International is an independent not for profit organisation, and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (registration no. 27364542) as a private company with limited liability under Dutch law (B.V.). This legal form enables us to operate independently and in cooperation with partners around the world.

The mandate for the management of the organisation is laid down in our Articles of Association.

• Our shareholder is the GMP+ International Foundation; ten Dutch trade associations representing the whole feed chain. While this Dutch character reflects our origin, we welcome other stakeholder groups internationally who wish to join as shareholders.

• The chairman and secretary of GMP+ International Foundation compose the General Shareholders Meeting.

• Our Supervisory Board consists of three independent persons. It serves as a sounding board, and advises and supervises the Management Board.

• Our Managing Director is the board of the organisation and authorised for final decision making in accordance with Dutch law, though for specified strategic decisions they need the approval of the General Shareholders Meeting or the Supervisory Board.

• Our staff includes our Management Board (GMP+ International’s Managing Director and Commercial Director), who are supported by 30 employees in 4 teams.
