    Goals / Remit

    We believe that communication has the power to create change and that real change only occurs with effective, powerful communication. Communication is the heart of what makes us human, what makes the world go round, and what we at Hill & Knowlton do day in and day out in 81 offices in 43 countries around the globe. Powerful communications that make a difference, that go beyond the ordinary, that can transform, inspire, move and educate is why we exist. This power can be accessed by our clients wherever and whenever they need it; in specialist arenas and in global campaigns; in the corridors of government; in the financial centres and in the minds of consumers everywhere.

    Public Affairs

    The bottom line and reputation of a business depends on its ability to operate within a positive public policy environment that establishes the framework of the marketplace of goods, services, ideas and issues. Public Affairs can create decisive competitive advantage and open market opportunities. Growing competition to influence public policy means that public affairs approaches have to be more sophisticated and creative. In addition, they should not be stand-alone options but an integral part of an organisation's planning of its business and corporate communications strategies.

    Main EU files targeted

    Given Hill+Knowlton Strategies' broad client base, our advice to our clients focuses on all areas of EU policy making.

    These range from energy and environment, transport, financial services, food and consumer affairs, sustainability, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, agriculture and fisheries, information and communication technologies, media, defence, intellectual property, professional services, diplomatic relations, travel, chemicals and industrial policies.

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
