The Packaging Forum is pleased to welcome Victoria Carter ONZM CFInstD as its first Independent Chair.
Victoria is a Fellow of the Institute of Directors in New Zealand and brings over 30 years governance experience across local government, membership organisations, and business. She served as an Auckland City Councillor, including on the Works Committee where she supported resource recovery projects. She has extensive board experience and has grown several businesses including Cityhop cars by the hour. In 2016, she was awarded an ONZM for services to business, the arts, and community.
An enthusiastic practical recycler for most of her life, she was championing the circular economy before it was fashionable – always focused on how to keep materials in use and turn good intent into measurable, useful results.
Her immediate priorities are strengthening governance, getting to know our team and members, and ensuring our schemes deliver viable, sustainable packaging solutions for New Zealand. She is motivated by the opportunity to work with the Board to demonstrate the value we can bring to members and help New Zealand progress toward a circular economy. Victoria is joining the Forum at an important time and looks forward to working with members to advance our collective sustainability goals.
Our sincere thanks to Nick Baker for his valuable leadership as outgoing Chair and his ongoing contribution on the Board.
