He passed away on April 8, 2024 after a serious illness at the age of 74. Dr. Drs. h.c. Andreas J. Büchting, Honorary Chairman of the Supervisory Board of KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA and KWS SE: "We are deeply saddened by the death of Philip von dem Bussche. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family. Philip von dem Bussche will be vividly remembered as an impressive personality. Until the end, he expressed his strong attachment to KWS and carried out his mandates with dedication until his death. His attitude as a family entrepreneur, his expertise, his reliable and pragmatic actions and, above all, his approachability and his appreciative manner were highly valued by all sides and made him a central figure of identification in our company." As a trained farmer and graduate in business administration, he dedicated his life to agriculture in various positions and functions and became an outstanding protagonist of German agriculture. He has also shaped the development of KWS for 25 years. He was a member of the Supervisory Board of KWS from 2000 to 2005 before moving to the Executive Board from 2005 to 2014, where he also assumed the position of Spokesman from 2008. Most recently, at the end of 2022, when Andreas Büchting resigned from his positions, Philip von dem Bussche returned to the company as Chairman of the Supervisory Boards of KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA and KWS SE at the request of the Büchting and Arend Oetker shareholder families. About KWS KWS is one of the world’s leading plant breeding companies.
