Together with our member Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, we are organising an event in Stockholm looking at why and how civil society should get involved in standardisation in Sweden. The effective participation of environmental NGOs in standards-making is key to making sure our planet is protected by robust rules – and this year we are focusing on the role standards can play to bring about circular economy.
Webinar | How data centre expansion risks derailing climate goals - and how to fix it.
Standards will play an essential role in implementing the EU's new packaging rules. Join us on 2 October to learn more about the standardisation process and hear from experts about best practices and recent developments, as we discuss solutions for packaging minimisation, refill, and reuse.
Webinar | The increasing popularity of AI and other digital technologies is driving a boom in the need for data centres. AI is framed as a vehicle for progress, but its unchecked evolution also has a darker side: it risks undermining climate goals, destabilising energy systems, and deepening environmental and social inequalities. Join us for the launch of a new report on the environmental impacts of data centres, and possible EU policy responses.

The coalition unites 35 forward-thinking stakeholders from across the construction sector, civil society, and public authorities under a shared commitment to elevate public procurement as a core lever for driving demand for innovative solutions.
Want to know more about the environmental impacts of data centres? Come to our session at the European Sustainable Energy Week, #EUSEW2025, the biggest conference dedicated to renewable energy and energy efficiency. We will be presenting about whether AI can be efficient and sustainable, and why we must go beyond energy efficiency to achieve our climate ambitions. Register now!
