Jan Derck van Karnebeek, CEO of FrieslandCampina: "FrieslandCampina has an excellent starting position with a rich history, strong reputation, committed employees, relevant 'purpose' and an enormous amount of dairy knowledge and expertise. Moreover, FrieslandCampina has a diverse business, product and customer portfolio, enabling it to spread its risks well and, partly as a result, to offer its member dairy farmers an industry-leading milk price. The company's profitability is under pressure. Therefore, in the coming period, we will take the necessary steps to improve it. The first step is an adjustment of our management structure and the corresponding appointments. I have every confidence that with the renewed leadership team we will fulfil FrieslandCampina's 'purpose' of better food for the world, good income for our farmers, now and in the future."
