Our mission: IFAW protects animals and the places they call home.
IFAW has a vision of a world where animals are respected and protected. We promise supporters and policy makers that (1) we will engineer solutions that benefit animals, people and the planet, and (2) activate where we are needed the most. Our belief is that animals matter to people and the planet. Based on that core belief and in order to achieve our vision, we follow a set of key principles that guide our hands-on projects and advocacy work:
* Animals should be recognized as sentient beings with intrinsic value.
* Policy should be based on sound science and the ethical treatment of animals.
* Conservation decisions should be guided by ecological sustainability and biological sustainability, the precautionary principle and ethical treatment of animals.
IFAW in Germany is one of 12 affiliated companies, the others are located in Australia, Canada, France, Malawi, the Netherlands, UK (2 companies), US, South (...)Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
8 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.
