Our Committee's logo has evolved through the years. Which one do you prefer?

There is a lot to know behind our logo:

➡️ We are the house of employers, workers and organisations in the EU.

➡️ As an EU advisory body, we give recommendations on behalf of the #EUCivilSociety to other EU institutions ensuring their policies are effective.

➡️ We issue more than 160 opinions every year in many areas of interest.

#EUCivilSociety

Do you know what the State of the Union is? It is the annual speech given by the President of the @EU_Commission before the European Parliament.

As representatives of the #EUCivilSociety, we support representative and direct democracy. Check our manifesto for more: https://europa.eu/!wKqrmJ

The State of the Union speech is an example of democracy in action. Mark your agenda and follow it live on 13 Sept.

Health planet = Healthy people

The recent extreme temperatures and raging fires showed us that our planet needs us, but only together we can be the guardians of our eternal home – the Earth.

On #NatureConservationDay, we reiterate our call for:
✅ a more ambitious agreement to protect and restore biodiversity
✅ stronger #EUCivilSociety engagement

We welcome the recent positive vote on Nature Restoration Law by the European Parliament.
