EuroCommerce is the principal European organisation representing the retail and wholesale sector. It embraces national associations in 27 countries and millions of companies, both leading global players such as Carrefour, Ikea, Metro and Tesco, and many small businesses.

Tasks:

• Representing national and sectoral associations and companies in the retail and wholesale sector
• Informing its members about EU policy and legislation
• Advocacy for suitable policy and legislative outcomes
• Communicating on retail's contribution to society and the European economy
• Facilitating knowledge exchange among members

The circular economy is an opportunity for retail and wholesale: consumers are demanding more sustainable products and businesses need to shrink their carbon footprint.
