A multi-stakeholder structure

To ensure our independence from specific interests, we involve, at all levels, individuals or organizations with a wide range of activities and backgrounds in the environment and health field.

GreenFacts is an association of individuals, originating from various stakeholder groups depending on their background:

  • Academic Institutions;
  • Environment and Health non-profit organizations;
  • Business & Industry Groups;
  • Others (including media, government, scientists,...).

These members commit themselves on a purely personal basis and not in the name of other organizations they are affilated to. The management of GreenFacts is ensured by five main entities :

Steering Committee

The Steering Committee composed of members who plan, organize and verify the strategy and programme of actions of GreenFacts ; it notably nominates the members and controls the actions of the Executive Committee. It elaborates and controls the budget.


Scientific Board

The Scientific Board is composed exclusively of independent scientific experts from academic and scientific institutions. It takes its decisions independently from the rest of the organization.
Our Scientific Board is consulted throughout the publication process; it validates our drafts through a peer review process and authorizes the final publication.


Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is composed of a small number of members of the Steering Committee who manage and perform the operations decided by the Steering Committee. It is in particular in charge of organising and managing the performance of the dossiers.


Staff

The Staff is composed on non permanent persons hired to perform GreenFacts' operations, websites and fundraising activities. It ensures the production of our publications under the control of the scientific Board.


Panel of Experts

The Panel of Experts is composed of scientific experts from all stakeholder groups. They are consulted for advice, or contribute to to the writing or reviewing process.
