Flamingo Group International announced the appointment of Rosalind Kainyah MBE as its new Non-Executive Director, Sustainability, marking a strategic move to accelerate its global sustainability goals. Kainyah, a decorated expert with over three decades of experience in corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship, joins the agricultural leader as it aims to cement its position as the world’s most resilient, best-value farm-direct grower with the lowest environmental footprint.
Kainyah’s appointment underscores Flamingo Group’s commitment to embedding sustainability at the core of its operations. Renowned for her work advising multinational corporations and governments on sustainable development, ethical supply chains, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks, Kainyah brings a wealth of expertise to the role. Her accolades include being honored as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to business and sustainability.
In a statement, Flamingo Group highlighted Kainyah’s “proven leadership” and “passion for driving systemic change” as key factors in her selection. The company emphasized her expected role in refining sustainability strategies, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing regenerative farming practices across its global network of farm-direct partnerships.
“Rosalind’s vision aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver value without compromising the planet,” said a Flamingo Group spokesperson. “Her insights will be pivotal as we innovate to meet the growing demand for responsibly sourced produce.”
Kainyah echoed the sentiment, stating, “I look forward to collaborating with Flamingo Group’s talented team to build scalable, equitable solutions that benefit both people and the environment. Agriculture sits at the intersection of climate action and food security, and this role offers an exciting opportunity to drive meaningful impact.”
The appointment comes amid rising global pressure on agribusinesses to adopt climate-resilient practices. Flamingo Group, which supplies fresh produce to retailers worldwide, has pledged to leverage Kainyah’s expertise to strengthen farmer partnerships, optimize resource efficiency, and transparently report progress toward its sustainability targets.
Industry analysts have hailed the move as a timely boost for the company’s green credentials, with one noting, “Kainyah’s track record in transforming corporate sustainability agendas positions Flamingo Group to lead in an increasingly eco-conscious market.”
As Kainyah steps into her role, stakeholders will be watching for early initiatives to advance the company’s pledge of “lowest environmental footprint” leadership—a goal now firmly within reach under her guidance.
