17 April 2007 -- > The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels is pleased to announce the first members of its inaugural Steering Board. The Steering Board will be responsible for taking into account global stakeholder feedback and recommending draft principles and standards for ensuring biofuels' sustainability.
In developing the Board, every effort was made to create a balance of stakeholders from around the world, representing different sectors of society and different actors in the supply chain. More members may be added as needed to achieve this goal. Steering Board members serve in a personal capacity, and do not represent their company or sector as a whole.
