Communication Activities

In 2018, FEBA Board of Directors decided to create an EU Working Group, which is coordinated by FEBA and is composed of representatives from the membership who deal with European issues. The main aims of this EU Working Group consist in developing thematic expertise on EU topics and facilitating the exchange of information and best practice between FEBA and the membership. In 2025 the EU Working Group is composed of 30 Food Bank representatives from 22 FEBA Members. FEBA actively contributes to the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste, which was established in 2016 and brings together key players from the public and private sectors, ranging from EU institutions to experts from the EU Member States, as well as relevant stakeholders. FEBA also has been selected for the Platform's second mandate (2022-2026) and supports the work of the sub-groups on food donation, action and implementation, and food loss and waste monitoring. FEBA organises regular events and reports to advocate for the policies targeted above.
