    Other financial info

    Previous information for prior financial year.
    Our German operations received a grant of €2.08million in June 2021 under the KfW Energieeffizienzprogramm Abwärme. Whilst the subsidy is funded by the BMWi of Germany, it is falling under the rules of EU subsidies and is published by the KfW on the respective subsidy website of the EU commission.
    Our German operations received funding in 2022 and 2023 for our Care-O-Sene project by the German Government (BMWi). For transparency this is mentioned here with more information provided on the German lobby register.

    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.
