New ECOS members and Executive Committee
At the ECOS Annual General Meeting, held in Brussels on the 20th of June, ECOS welcomed three new Full members:
Zero Waste Europe is a pan-European NGO empowering communities to rethink their relationship with resources. ZWE aim to “re-design society so that all superfluous waste is eliminated and everything that is produced can be re-used, repaired, composted or recycled back into the system. Anything that can’t be repaired, composted or recycled should be re-designed and replaced or banned from entering the market.”
Bellona Europe is a pan-European non-profit organisation aiming to “meet and fight the climate challenges, through identifying and implementing sustainable environmental solutions. Bellona work towards reaching a greater ecological understanding, protection of nature, the environment and health.”
ZERO is a Portuguese environmental NGO striving towards sustainable development in Portugal. ZERO believe that only through the balance between the environment, society and economy will it be possible to build a more cohesive world, socially and economically, in full respect for the natural limits of the planet.
The ECOS members also appointed a new Executive Committee. The Committee includes Pieter de Pous (EEB), Greg Archer (T&E), Maja Bozicevic (DOOR, Croatia), Marion Hasper (BUND, Germany), Fanoula Ziouzia (Energy Saving Trust, UK), Arianna Vitali Roscini (WWF-EPO), and Joanna van Aalst.
ECOS would like to sincerely thank members who, after several years of rich collaboration, have stepped down from the board, including Ursula Weiss from BBU Germany, Imke Luebbeke from WWF-EPO, and former ECOS Vice-President Claudia Kuss-Tenzer, from the UK Sustainability Network for Standardisation.
