Former Kraft executive Annemieke Wijn is a member of the Rainforest Alliance’s Board of Directors. Such strong financial and structural connections between the corporate purchaser between the standard setting and certification group are a conflict of interest, as Kraft has obvious incentives to meet its publicly declared purchasing commitments at the lowest possible cost.
