Goals / Remit
The Changing Markets Foundation partners with NGOs on market focused campaigns. Our mission is to expose irresponsible corporate practices and drive change towards a more sustainable economy. Our approach is based on two key ideas 1) sustainability is an urgent challenge to which most solutions already exist; 2) market forces can be leveraged to drive rapid and self-reinforcing change towards a more sustainable economy. Changing Markets was formed to accelerate this transition.
Main EU files targeted
The Changing Markets Foundation campaigns on a range of topics including climate change, environmental protection and pollution prevention, food and health, and resource efficiency and circular economy.

Meetings
Meetings
3 meetings found. Download meetings
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.
