Annual Report 2024
Against a backdrop of political shifts, competing interests, and the stark realities of a changing climate, 2024 was challenging in many ways – but still a year full of important milestones and steps forward for ambitious environmental protection.
To amplify our global impact we opened a new Africa office in Nairobi, Kenya, establishing partnerships and alliances with national and regional organisations and standardisers to exchange knowledge about policy, standards, and environmental concerns for Africa.
Throughout the year, we also focused on pushing to ensure that the global Plastics Treaty becomes a key tool in the fight against plastic pollution. With a number of new, ambitious laws, the EU took steps to make sustainable, non-toxic products the norm, and provide consumers with reliable information on the impact these products have on our planet. We were there every step of the way – be it textiles, batteries, plastic, or cement. As we kept working on the areas we had closely followed for years, we also grew our influence in new sectors, such as Green Public Procurement, soil or critical raw materials.
ECOS and its team of dedicated staff worked throughout the year to advocate for environmentally friendly policies, laws and standards. We are profoundly grateful to the ECOS network – our experts, members, partners, and funders – for their continuous support, and for helping us make 2024 a success.
