As from today, new CEO Khadija Nadi will lead the company towards achieving these goals and contributing significantly to worldwide sustainability targets.
The investment round was led by Impact Capital (holding Piet Colruyt) and Aconterra. Thomas Leysen, Elanti and the management also participated in the capital increase.
