Thanks to its wide-ranging representativeness FIEC is the officially recognised Social Partner, representing employers, in the European Sectoral Social Dialogue “Construction”.

Whether it is preparing the ground for future growth through investing in infrastructure, dealing with the threat of climate change, adapting buildings to make them more energy efficient or planning cities to meet the changing needs of future generations, the construction sector is the fundamental partner to make the future a reality.

The sustainable Europe of tomorrow cannot be achieved without the direct involvement of the construction industry. In fact, the construction industry is at the heart of our life: construction enterprises and their workers build the homes we live in, the roads on which we travel and the buildings we work or learn in. Without the construction industry the EU cannot respond to its main challenges : competitiveness, youth unemployment, digital economy, urban regeneration, energy efficiency and energy poverty, circular economy, affordable housing, climate change, mobility and connected infrastructure, etc.

Moreover, the construction sector is a fundamental component of Europe’s economic growth and a major source of employment. It generates about 10% of gross domestic product (GDP) in the EU and provides almost 13 million direct jobs.

FIEC is the key partner for #construction at European level.

Smart Freight Centre (SFC) was established in 2013 as a global non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable freight. We cover all freight and only freight.

Our vision  

Our vision is ‘Smart Freight’: an efficient and zero-emissions global logistics sector – contributing to Paris Agreement climate targets and Sustainable Development Goals.

Our mission  

Our mission is to bring together the global logistics community through our Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) to work towards this vision. We believe that increased collaboration and transparency will mobilize companies to take climate action to reduce the greenhouse gas and pollution impact arising from global freight.

Our goal

Our goal is that 100+ multinationals reduce at least 30% of logistics emissions by 2030 compared to 2015 across their global logistics supply chains reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Concretely this means at least 80 million tonnes annual CO2 e emission reductions by 2030.

Our role 

Our main role is to advise companies on how to develop and implement their company-specific Sustainable Logistics Roadmap using the four ‘Smart Freight Leadership’ steps: report, set targets, reduce and collaborate.

To ensure sector-wide uptake of GHG disclosure and climate action, SFC also plays an advocacy role and raises awareness among companies and other relevant stakeholders.

We put this into practice through four activities:

• Guide multinationals and their suppliers to develop and implement Sustainable Logistics Roadmaps, through guidelines, training and advice
• Remove key business barriers through GLEC projects that results in guidelines that work for industry, the first of which was the GLEC Framework
• Advocacy with governments and organizations for supportive policy, programs and strategies in order to scale industry action
• Raise awareness through events, workshops and webinars and by publishing stories of companies that demonstrate leadership
