The EFFC has developed an updated Sustainability Charter, aimed at supporting member companies, national federations and the overall EFFC in building a more sustainable future. The Charter provides a shared framework built around three pillars: environmental, social and economic sustainability. Beneath these pillars, the guide highlights key actions supported by the EFFC’s working groups, tools and guides. Key priorities include carbon reduction, circular economy practices, climate adaptation, health and well-being, fair contracting and industry-wide collaboration. Together, this sets out a vision for our sector, with practical commitments to help our members create a more sustainable and resilient European foundation industry.

The EFFC has collaborated with the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) to create the EFFC/DFI Carbon Calculator tool.

The calculator allows the carbon footprint for foundation works to be determined. We are working towards this tool being adopted globally as a means to assess the carbon impact of different designs with the intention of helping clients to select more sustainable solutions for their projects.
