  • Celebrating the 2025 African Day of Standardisation

    Every year in June, the African Day of Standardisation takes place. In 2025, ECOS will join ARSO (the African Organisation for Standardisation) and other key stakeholders in celebrating together as part of the ARSO week and in support of the ARSO-ECOS partnership agreement on environmental aspects of standards development in Africa. What role do standards play in Africa? How do ARSO, ECOS, and other stakeholders fit in? What are this year’s priorities? Find out below.

  • 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.
