Additional Information
BCW Brussels takes its ETI registration responsibilities seriously. Outlined below are the details of our approach. To determine our total turnover linked to lobbying the EU institutions we: 1. Start with our total turnover for 2025 2. Deduct turnover generated by services unrelated to the EU institutions (e.g. Belgian public relations or international communications work) or which involved no contact with any officials or policy-makers of the EU institutions 3. Deduct communications work performed for the EU institutions As indicated above, we generally apply a wide interpretation of what should be considered lobbying. If we help a client to engage with the EU institutions on an issue, we generally count all our efforts as lobbying (preparation, intelligence gathering, strategic advice, designing advocacy, advertising etc.) even if some aspects of the work could be excluded from registration. Since 2013, BCW has systematically introduced new clients into the register after a contract is signed, as currently required under the guidelines. Please note that Burson Cohn & Wolfe SRL (BCW register identification number 9155503593-86 ) is also the existing legal entity for GCI Health. GCI Health ( registration ID - 685884647362-97) and its office in Brussels operates as a division of this legal entity. Activities of BCW and GCI Health are separate hence two registrations. Please also note that following the merger of WPP’s two largest communications agencies, Hill & Knowlton and BCW, to form Burson, as of 1 July 2024 we operate under new brand Burson. However, since in Brussels we have maintained two separate legal entities until now (one for H&K and one for BCW), each entity has a separate entry in the TR. More information related to merger can be found at https://www.wpp.com/en/news/2024/01/wpp-unites-bcw-and-hill-knowlton-to-create-burson as well as at https://www.bursonglobal.com/.
