ACE Announces New Public Affairs Director for Italian Market

Ms. 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.

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.

“We welcome Micol to the ACE team,” said Annick Carpentier, Director General of ACE. “She brings with her a deep network and knowledge of food and sustainability policies in Italy which will be essential to building awareness around the industry’s work in the region.”

Ms. 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.

“I am very excited to join ACE in this strategic role,” said Ms. Bertoni. “We are now in a crucial moment for the packaging sector which is called to fulfil new and decisive challenges, starting with environmental sustainability. I look forward to contributing to the beverage carton industry as it has a direct impact on the daily life of consumers. This is an industry with a clear vision for the future and fully committed to responding to the sustainability challenges of the sector.”
