In welcoming the four new members to the board, Mats Lederhausen, Chair of BSR and Managing Director of McDonald's Ventures, said, "These highly distinguished business leaders were selected because of their commitment to responsible business success, and their unique insights into integrating principles of sustainability into business strategies and operations. I look forward to working with them as colleagues on the BSR Board."
According to BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer, "The four new board members will provide tremendous insight and support to BSR across a range of critical industry areas where we operate and that have great impacts on the practices of sustainable business in the world today. These senior business leaders are helping their companies achieve sustainable success, and I look forward to their contributions to BSR's ongoing support for these same goals."

Departing directors include: Mandy Cormack, formerly of Unilever; Roberta Karp of Liz Claiborne; Roberto Murray of Cerveceria La Constancia, S.A. and Grupo Agrisal; John Onoda of Fleishman Hillard; and Chris Tuppen of British Telecommunications. "The critical contributions made by the departing Directors have been central in the organization's successes over the past few years. I am very grateful for their service," Lederhausen said.
