Constitutional Review & Special Meeting
"Posted" 06/09/2018
Following a review of our constitution and feedback from our Shareholders, the Board has put forward proposed amendments to our constitution. The amendments have three objectives. These are firstly to bring the constitution into line with current practice, secondly, to reflect that the co-operative’s businesses are now predominantly undertaken via its 50% shareholding in Silver Fern Farms Limited rather than directly, and thirdly, to facilitate our co-operative’s ability to better develop its governance capability. A marked-up copy of the constitution (showing the proposed changes), and responses to the feedback during the consultation is available to read:
