Who we are

Goals organisations can achieve with the help of ECO2F

At the European CO2 Foundation (ECO2F) we boost the image and prestige of all organisations that have passed the Foundation’s assessment for the determined way they have decarbonised their activities to achieve neutral GHG emissions. In doing so, we are also helping them achieve goal number 13 (Climate Action) of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) approved by the United Nations.

Our activities

To speed up the transition towards a more decarbonised economy and society,
the European CO2 Foundation (ECO2F) carries out the following activities:

Providing recognition systems for organisations that stand out for their progress towards sustainability.

Publicising best practices so they can serve as models for other organisations and speed up decarbonisation processes

Raising the international profile of companies and organisations of all kinds recognised by the Foundation to honour them as models for their progress towards decarbonisation.

Developing networks and alliances to make it easier to exchange best practices and implement joint solutions.

Developing communication and training programmes and projects that allow the decarbonisation culture to be publicised internationally.

The aim is to ensure that countries that implement effective decarbonisation programmes are considered climate-neutral environments, where the best suppliers, allies and investment opportunities can be found, and that members and institutions affiliated to the Foundation enjoy increased prestige and improved sustainability.

Who benefits from ECO2F?

ECO2F was founded on a cooperative approach with the purpose of strengthening the community of sustainable practices and supporting the initiatives of companies and organisations in the sustainable development ecosystem.

ECO2F benefits companies and organisations seeking to obtain sustainability recognition, thereby guaranteeing their commitment to decarbonisation. This recognition not only improves their brand image, but also allows them to join an international network of organisations committed to sustainability.

ECO2F benefits the communities and countries where organisations recognised by ECO2F are established, as it encourages the development of a strong decarbonised economy. It also means the community will be considered a climate-neutral environment with a high quality of life, where a future-oriented economy and investment opportunities can be found.

ECO2F benefits experts who help organisations and companies to be sustainable, as it helps them carry out their activities.

ECO2F benefits the development of sustainability certification and accreditation as it encourages organisations to move forward towards decarbonisation and promotes the use of accredited recognition from certifiers and recognised bodies.

ECO2F benefits sustainability experts, as our mission is to strengthen the community of sustainable practices and support their initiatives.

Who are members of ECO2F?

The European CO2 Foundation (ECO2F) is made up of a diverse group of highly-rated international companies committed to sustainability and decarbonisation. Our members include both large corporations and small and medium-sized businesses that share the vision of building a more sustainable future. We also work with institutions and professionals in the sustainable development sector to ensure a comprehensive, effective approach in our initiatives.

Why was it set up and what are its goals?

ECO2F began in response to the growing need to speed up the transition towards a decarbonised, climate-neutral society. Our goal is to recognise and publicise best practices in sustainability, promoting an environment where companies can share knowledge and experiences. Through cooperation, we seek to inspire more organisations to adopt sustainable technologies and processes, which not only contributes to the fight against climate change, but also drives innovation and improves the competitiveness of companies in a global context.

How can I obtain ECO2F recognition?

To obtain ECO2F recognitions, organisations must demonstrate their commitment to sustainability by implementing decarbonised practices and responsible processes. Through a rigorous and transparent assessment process, we ensure that only organisations that meet our sustainability standards receive this recognition. Interested parties can access the special section of our website dealing with applications and the necessary requirements.

Does ECO2F work with other international organisations?

Yes, ECO2F supports and works with international organisations that promote sustainability and sustainable development. Our global network allows the exchange of knowledge and experiences between countries, which strengthens our initiatives and amplifies the impact of our actions in the fight against climate change.

How is the transparency and reliability of ECO2F guaranteed?

ECO2F is committed to working with the highest standards of transparency and reliability. We regularly publish reports on our activities and the impact of our initiatives. Our governance also includes the participation of members from different disciplines and sectors, ensuring broad representation and a fair approach in our decision-making.
