  • ECOS partners with ARSO, the African Organisation for Standardisation

    Through our Africa Office, we are developing partnerships with key regional players in standardisation and policy in the African region. A new Memorandum of Understanding between ECOS and ARSO, the African Organisation for Standardisation, will facilitate our closer collaboration on standardisation activities and the promotion of the effective participation of environmental stakeholders in the development of standards in Africa.

  • ECOS increases global reach with new Africa office

    Environmental issues are interconnected and unconstrained by borders, but priorities differ based on geography and context. We need global efforts that ensure environmental ambition – something ECOS has been progressively working towards as part of our international strategy. We have just opened a new office in Nairobi, Kenya, focusing on the African region. International growth will allow us to collaborate closer with like-minded organisations in different parts of the world and strengthen the environmental voice in the development of policies, standards, and laws.
