Goals / Remit
At Sympatex, we have made it our goal not only to do what is required by law but also what is technically possible to make our contribution so that the textile industry can close the ecological loop as quickly as possible. Based on our own developments as well as a close dialogue with our customers, we promote a clothing industry that combines high individual requirements with an uncompromising responsibility to future generations.
We believe that these two aims don't have to be mutually exclusive and that it's not enough to optimise only individual aspects, such as durability. For us, the highest level of freedom is to voluntarily commit to one goal to the best of our ability: “Closing the loop”.
We invite our customers to join us in trying to reach our shared goal.Main EU files targeted

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.
