Goals / Remit
Forward Global is a public affairs consultancy, which focuses on certain clearly identified policy issues in which we claim real expertise: competition, trade, regulatory affairs (e.g. digital and media, energy, environment, telecommunications, financial services and corporate social responsibility), communication campaigns, and cybersecurity. We believe in diversity: our team of consultants and advisors comprises individuals who are American, Belgian, British, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Irish, Israeli, Italian, Japanese, Lebanese, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian and Spanish. We believe in experience: all partners and several consultants have each spent time in the EU Institutions, with a mix of services and cabinets’ positions. Some of our consultants have worked in national administrations too. We believe in honesty: when we think we cannot help, we refer would-be clients to consultancies with more relevant expertise, and we do this on a routine basis with requests (...)
Main EU files targeted
Forward Global's clients list includes companies from the private and public sectors, associations, NGOs and Governments. We advise clients on aviation, Brexit, competition, climate change, digital, energy, environment and circular economy, external relations financial services, mobility, single market, R&D and trade.

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.
