Mission & Goals
ES-SO is a non-profit organisation under Belgian law that aims to promote the positive impact of solar shading on indoor climate management, thereby supporting the EU’s ambitious energy-efficiency goals. ES-SO is the European umbrella organisation of professional solar shading organisations in the various European member states. Based in Brussels, it is ideally located to guarantee that the voice of the solar shading industry is heard and that it can make a positive contribution to the European energy targets, such as energy efficiency and GHG commitments. ES-SO is involved in EU policy in a contributory and advisory capacity.
