New York-based Recycle Track Systems (RTS), a waste and recycling management technology company, announced the appointment of Shazi Visram as a member of its board of directors March 19. Visram is the founder and former CEO of Happy Family Organic Food Brands, a New York-based producer of organic baby food.
“Shazi is an essential addition to our already impressive board of directors,” Greg Lettieri, co-founder and CEO of RTS, says. “Given her proven success and accomplishments at Happy Family, we are privileged to have her join our team and greatly value her expertise and shared environmental principles we repeatedly strive for at Recycle Track Systems.”
In 2017, RTS was the recipient of B Corporation Certification and is among a select number of for-profit organizations who meet the rigorous B Corp criteria regarding standards such as social and environmental performance, accountability and sustainability.
These business principles are also closely aligned with the standards at Happy Family. Visram, who has helped the company become one of the most successful organic baby food brands in the country, has also made it her mission to address the company’s climate impact. In doing so, she created a Happy Family Climate Action Team to concentrate on environmental issues.
“I am thrilled to join the board of Recycle Track Systems as they lead the way on developing innovative waste management solutions and forging sustainability efforts,” Visram says. “I am eager to leverage my own experience and work as a part of this dedicated team to promote recycling and environmental responsibilities.”
