ACE: New public affairs director

The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment, ACE, has appointed Micol Bertoni as Public Affairs Director for the Italian market.

ACE is the beverage carton industry’s European platform: comprised of three European beverage carton producers (Elopak, SIG Combibloc and Tetra Pak) and their paperboard suppliers (Billerud and Stora Enso).

Italy represents a strategic market for this sector as 64% of milk, 54% of juices and 97% of vegetable drinks are packed in beverage cartons.

Bertoni is responsible for building and managing relationships with decision makers and stakeholders at Italian level, while contributing to optimize the industry’s commitment to increase the rates of collection and recycling of beverage cartons in Italy.

Bertoni was most recently the Senior Public Affairs Manager for Deliveroo Italy. Prior to that, she served as the Head of International and EU Affairs for agri-food policies in Confcooperative, the main organisation representing food and agricultural cooperatives in Italy. She graduated in Business Communication from Sapienza University and obtained a Masters in Corporate Social Responsibility and Management.
