Building a sustainable, fair, and competitive brand ecosystem.

We exist to support European brands in a dynamic retail landscape of evolving consumer needs, digital trends, and changing regulation. Our work to guide brands, represent their interests and shape policy helps them to adapt quickly and thrive long-term.

Our strategic priorities cover six important areas that are integral to Europe’s brand ecosystem. Together, these priority areas create benefits for brands, consumers and the environment.

Supporting sustainable and responsible brand business practices

We lead initiatives that benefit all communities through responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.

Protecting brands’ intellectual property, a cornerstone of consumer trust.

We’re working to enhance trade mark laws and procedures to prevent counterfeits and other infringements to ensure brand integrity.
