New York-based Recycle Track Systems (RTS), a waste and recycling management technology company, has appointed Shazi Visram, founder and former chief executive officer of Happy Family Organic Food Brands, as a member of its board of directors.
In 2017, RTS was the recipient of B Corporation Certification and is among a select number of for-profit organizations who meet the rigorous B Corp criteria regarding standards such as social and environmental performance, accountability and sustainability.
These business principles are also closely aligned with the standards at Happy Family. Visram, who has helped the company become one of the most dominate and successful organic baby food brands in the country, has also made it her mission to address the company’s climate impact. In doing so, she created a Happy Family Climate Action Team to concentrate on environmental issues.
Visram also brings a proven and celebrated track record to the dynamic board, as she has been previously honored for her entrepreneurial achievements and her role in improving children’s nutrition and happiness. She was named one of Babble’s 100 Moms who are changing the world. Visram was also lauded by president Obama as “a rockstar of the new economy and a leader we can all emulate” for work such as Happy to Help, the Happy Family brand’s far-reaching social and philanthropic initiative aimed at helping children in need.
