    We at Svenska institutet för standarder, SIS had the pleasure to host the third plenary meeting of CEN-CLC/JTC 24 Digital Product Passport. For three days, we have had experts from all over Europe working intensively on progressing the work to draft standards in support of the regulation on DPP in ESPR. Very important work, and productive days indeed! ♻️ 📱 (Equally important is to take the opportunity to spend time together and had the pleasure to enjoy a guided tour of the Royal Palace and dinner together.)

  • 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

    Today I was delighted to speak at the presentation of the key insights from the DG GROW-EIB report on Navigating Supply Chain Disruptions. Our discussion couldn’t be more timely. With recent crises like the US-China trade tensions, COVID-19, rising shipping costs, and the Russian military aggression against Ukraine, we've witnessed unprecedented disruptions in global supply chains, exposing the EU's strategic dependencies. But here's the positive takeaway: EU firms have shown remarkable resilience and agility! They’ve responded with strategies to help them adapt to ongoing uncertainties. The data in the report, drawing from the EIBIS and the supply chain surveys, highlights how industries like electronics, automotive, and machinery have adjusted, with 56% of firms boosting inventory to counter short-term shocks. One key takeaway: Trade diversification can mitigate trade shocks, but challenges remain. For example, 68% of firms importing from China say finding alternative suppliers within the EU is difficult. This underscores the importance of targeted policy interventions – investments, skills development, and economic diplomacy – that support the unique needs of companies and ecosystems. A special shout-out to the panel for the insightful roundtable, reinforcing the importance of precise monitoring tools to unravel systemic risks. The Single Market remains crucial in buffering firms from external disruptions. This report is a must-read for anyone navigating the complexities of supply chains today. Let’s continue to drive policy solutions and strategies that build a more resilient and adaptable future! 💪 Read the report ➡ https://lnkd.in/e2vs3i3b #SupplyChainResilience #TradeDiversification #EconomicSecurity #EUTrade #SingleMarket

    Circular Economy Monitoring Expert at the EEA

    📢 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

    Today, I represented EFCC in the second workshop of the European Commission on substitution planning in the context of REACH and other European chemicals legislation. We are pleased that EFCC could once again contribute to the exchange on the proposed policy options. #chemicals #sustainability #substitution #REACH #substitution

  • 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.
