How we are organised

Cefic’s General Assembly of Members, composed of all member companies and national associations, defines the policies and general objectives and provides Cefic with the means and the mandate to carry out its mission.

The Board and the Executive Committee are in charge of Cefic’s governance and strategic positioning. They are elected by the General Assembly for a two-year period. The National Association Board (NAB) and the Industry Sector Board (ISB) ensure the direct involvement of national associations and industry sectors leaders in the operational management of Cefic.

Cefic’s operational management is ensured by the Cefic Director General and the Leadership Team, coordinating and steering all activities of the horizontal programmes and industry sectors. The office of the Director General also addresses business development, members relations, international affairs and the Responsible Care initiative.
