Organisation

ForFarmers has its registered office in Lochem (the Netherlands).

In order to be able to implement the Horizon 2020 strategy well, it is important to have a decisive organisation. It must strike the right balance between entrepreneurship in the local markets and using the knowledge, values and experience available within the ForFarmers organisation. In order to best serve the market, ForFarmers has three operational clusters. These are divided geographically and headed up by COOs. The clusters are: the Netherlands, Germany/Belgium/Poland and the United Kingdom. Operational activities generally take place locally to optimally meet customers’ requirements in the region in question.  The activities that are organised at group level are linked to the clusters by means of a matrix organisation.

 

 
These include Control/Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, IT, Investor Relations, Legal Affairs, Risk Management which are overseen by the CFO. HR (Human Resources), Nutrition Innovation Centre (NIC), Marketing, Communication, Sustainability, Corporate Affairs, Commercial Excellence and Digital Innovation are managed by the Director Strategy & Organisation. The Director Supply Chain oversees Purchasing, Formulation & Quality, Production & Logistics, Operational Excellence, Engineering Projects, and Health & Safety. The principle for these activities is that they should be centralised as much as possible, in line with the One ForFarmers approach. With this approach, ForFarmers aims to further professionalise the organisation, to work in a uniform manner and to optimally leverage the economies of scale.
