We currently operate in 30 countries (19 of which are EU Member States) and over 1000 cities, serving goods from over 150,000 merchants with over 250,000 courier partners to more than 40 million registered users, and employ more than 13,000 people in our offices across our markets.Main EU files targeted
Public policy engagement (e.g. meetings, consultation responses, position papers, event participation) with European Commission and European Parliament representatives on policies and legislative initiatives impacting technology platforms in areas such as competition, employment, internal market, platform regulation, digital services, payments, consumers, privacy, and taxation.

Meetings
Meetings
18 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.
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.
