Thank you to Construction Products Europe aisbl for the insightful and open exchanges today, both with members and invited speakers from the European Commission, on the future priorities of the construction sector.

Interesting report (EIB 2024) about supply chain disruptions. Despite its relatively low share of importers, trade disruptions in the construction ecosystem seem quite prevalent. The most frequently reported obstacles are related to access to raw materials or semi-finished products.  #supplychain #construction

📢 Exciting news! The latest European Environment Agency report addressing the environmental and climate footprint of buildings has been published today, assessing the current state of Europe’s buildings stock and looking at what is needed to make Europe’s buildings more sustainable. 🏙️ Here are the key takeaways: 1️⃣ More than 30% of the EU's environmental footprint comes from buildings, making it the sector with the highest environmental impact in the Union. 2️⃣ Societal trends such as an ageing population, increased affluence and a changing climate are expected to put pressure on the building stock. In addition to a demand for more buildings, especially in cities, there is also a need for different kinds of buildings that contribute to environmental and climate solutions. Thus, building sustainability is of increasing importance in Europe. 3️⃣ EU Policies target different aspects of buildings such as energy efficiency and climate emissions, construction products and waste management. A unified policy strategy on buildings, covering all life cycle stages and integrating both environmental and climate issues, would help identify synergies and avoid trade-offs. Renovating existing buildings with sustainable materials while improving climate resilience and working with nature are key. 🗝️ Read the full report [https://lnkd.in/d2QVVjNi] and join the conversation! 💬 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Buildings #EuropeanEnvironmentAgency🌍♻️CarolinCarolin Spirinckx Steven Claes

Proud that EFCC was represented today at the European Commission’s second workshop on substitution planning. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion and look forward to future exchanges with policymakers on driving innovation and sustainable solutions in substitution planning, while safeguarding the competitiveness of the industry. #safechemicals #sustainability #subsitution #REACH

The new von der Leyen Commission was presented today.

As newly elected and appointed European policymakers take office, we present EFCC's manifesto for the new EU legislative term. We summarised the key priorities that we think could support a successful transition to a thriving, competitive, and sustainable construction sector. Construction is the second largest industrial ecosystem in the European Union in economic terms, offering enormous potential to contribute to the green and digital transformation of the European industry. Within this ecosystem, the construction chemicals industry plays a vital role, influencing everything from energy efficiency to the durability and safety of buildings, and thus playing a critical role in achieving sustainability, innovation, and economic growth.  We believe that the European industry needs a predictable and consistent regulatory environment to remain globally competitive. Clear and upfront indications of new requirements are essential to foster confidence and encourage significant, long-term investments in innovative solutions. The European Green Deal remains a cornerstone of Europe’s growth strategy during the next political cycle, with the construction sector at its heart. As we drive the green and digital transition, it is crucial that this effort is supported by a robust industrial strategy.
