JIG organization

In addition to the sponsor, the Swiss Packaging Institute SVI, the SVI Joint Industry Group for Packaging Safty consists of JIG supporters with personal memberships. The project supporters are companies and institutions that have expressed their support for the project by means of a subscription form.

Various JIG committees work on the project. The SVI office manages the specialist group strategically and operationally on behalf of the JIG Strategy. The Strategy Committee and the project groups develop solutions and tools for the JIG topics, with the support of the authorities and the scientific community. All participants meet at least twice a year at the JIG General Assembly to discuss progress and upcoming activities. The focus is also on the exchange of experience and information and offers a good opportunity for networking. The Expert Council and the administrative management are permanent committees and manage the division.

The JIG’s main areas of activity are projects, the toolbox and awareness-raising and training, which is provided by the SVI ACADEMY. Here the JIG topics are processed, solutions and tools are provided and future priorities are looked out for. The range of training courses, communication, knowledge exchange and events are derived from these areas.
