In addition to the appointment of Frese, Dagrofa will add additional resources to the CSR area in the coming period, to strengthen its CSR efforts.

Commenting on her new role, Frese stated, “I am very much looking forward to continuing my work in the food industry and Dagrofa, where ambitions are high and the ESG area increasingly plays a significant role in relation to competitiveness and customer relations.
“It motivates me to make a difference for people and our planet, where food and eating habits are a big part of the solution to the green transition. I look forward to leading and strengthening the sustainability area in Dagrofa and incorporating some concrete solutions that make a difference, and not least the collaboration with the many talented employees.”
