He is also a member of the Board of the Central Switzerland Milk Producers Cooperative (ZMP), which holds a majority stake in Emmi via its subsidiary ZMP Invest AG. As Hans Herzog will no longer be able to stand for election to the Board at the ZMP assembly of delegates on 16 April 2015 due to the restriction on number of terms of office, he will also not stand for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting of Emmi AG on 22 April 2015. The Board of Directors would like to thank him for his dedication and the part he has played in the company's success.

The Board of Directors nominates Franz Steiger (56), a master farmer and a proven expert in Swiss agricultural policy, as a new member.
