Goals / Remit
Established in 1988, the EFCI (European Cleaning and Facility Services Industry) brings together national associations across Europe, employing more than 3,9 million people. EFCI members are responsible for representing the interests of the cleaning and facility services companies in their respective country and, where so existing, for the conclusion of the collective agreements in the sector.
The EFCI is the privileged interlocutor of the European Institutions regarding all questions related to the industry. Since the establishment of a European Sectoral Social dialogue Committee on Industrial Cleaning in 1998, the EFCI is recognised as a social partner by the European Commission.
The Secretariat is based in Brussels. It aims to ensure the continuous monitoring of the activities of the European Institutions and the taking into account of the cleaning industry’s interests in the frame of the elaboration of European policies and regulations that are relevant for the sector.Main EU files targeted

Communication activities
Since 1989, the EFCI carries out every two years (last edition in 2016), a survey on the Cleaning Industry in Europe. It provides a detailed and exhaustive analysis of the sector and its development over the last 25 years. It shows the most important socio-economical indicators (turnover, market penetration, number of companies, number of employees, work organisation, etc.) and compares the situation of the industry with the general economic context as well as with other service sectors. In June 2019, the EFCI published a Trend Report “The European Cleaning Industry 1995-2016” analysing the evolution of the sector during the last past 20 years. This statistical report builds on the historical EFCI Surveys and presents the evolution in the sector from different angles.
Since the establishment of the Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee on Industrial Cleaning in 1998, the following projects were carried out with the financial contribution of the European Commission and led to the elaboration of guides and handbooks: Industrial Cleaning - Training kit (2000), Handbook on Ergonomics in cleaning operations (2002); Guide on Selecting Best Value in cleaning operations (2004); Manual on Health & Safety in the office cleaning sector (2005); Study on the Modernisation of work organisation (2008); Study on improving the implementation of European social dialogue in the cleaning industry: examination and renewal (2010); OIRA (Online Interactive Risk Assessment) tool for the cleaning sector with the financial contribution of the European Agency for Safety and Health (2014); Best Value Guide (2016).
The EFCI organises every year a conference for its member associations and its Circle members (cleaning companies across Europe). Each year the theme of the conference is different, yet always related to recent develoments influencing the provision of cleaning services. EFCI's 10th Conference took place on 28 June in Brussels under the title “Cleaning and Facility Services: shaping the industry for the future”.
Finally, the EFCI actively participates in the campaign "European Cleaning Days" (www.cleaningdays.eu) that was launched in 2015 and will probably be repetead in the futur. The campaign's mission is to raise awareness of the importance and benefits of professional cleaning and hygiene in Europe and to inspire society and public to take responsibility and actions for creating a cleaner environment.
During the campaign, an extensive range of initiatives across Europe will be proposed; those will involve people of various age groups and professions. These events aim at engaging the general public to learn more about the necessity to preserve cleanliness in a wide variety of applications.Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
6 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.
