About the EEB
How the EEB works
We work to promote environmental issues on a European level and represent the demands of European citizens.
The EEB, set up in 1974, is Europe's largest coalition of grass-roots environmental organisations. What makes us stand out is our expert insight on a vast amount of environmental issues; ranging from biodiversity, to waste, nanotechnology, chemicals, ecolabel, and climate change and many others.
We meet our members regularly in working groups which focus on important environmental issues, and we then work to promote their demands at European level. Our policy officers are in almost constant dialogue with the European institutions (Commission, Parliament and Council) and strive to improve or protect environment laws in Europe.
The EEB also supplies quality information to the public, its members and the European institutions through articles, reports and papers. We offer expert comment, analysis and recommendations on most of the latest environmental issues.
What is also unique about us is our cross-sectoral approach to tackling issues. For instance, as a lead member of the Spring Alliance we work alongside trade unions and social organisations to promote sustainability. On a more ad-hoc basis we also work with companies and sectoral organisations, particularly in areas of waste and product policy.
