Our Work
EPACA, the European Public Affairs Consultancies’ Association, is the representative body for public affairs consultancies working with EU institutions.
Our members play a crucial and active role in the democratic process by connecting business and civil society to European policymakers.
At EPACA, we lead by example, upholding the highest ethical and professional standards in our work and championing transparent decision-making.
As the sector’s primary voice, we engage with the EU institutions on all issues related to lobbying and transparency, ensuring the role of our members are understood and respected.
Through events, workshops, and the use of practical tools, EPACA supports its members in embedding transparency and integrity into daily practice.
We are particularly committed to shaping the next generation of ethical public affairs professionals, ensuring that our values are not just aspirational, but actionable.
EPACA is committed to promoting a positive image of the public affairs consultancy sector and to raising awareness of its value to democratic and representative decision-making.
We are proud to act as the go-to voice for anyone who wants to know more about public affairs activities or is considering public affairs consultancy as a career path.
