working together to fulfill consumer wishes beAer, faster, at less cost and in a sustainable way

Our vision


The mission of ECR Europe is to promote collabora6ve processes as fundamental business principle in the consumer goods value chain in Europe. To this end, ECR Europe provides a neutral pla<orm which brings together members of the consumer goods value chain to develop, to disseminate and to foster the implementa6on of holis6c best prac6ces. We encourage ac6ve and voluntary collabora6on on non-‐compe66ve maAers between all involved par6es.

Our mission

ECR Europe is a joint organisa6on of Na6onal ECR Ini6a6ves (who are themselves joint organisa6ons of industry and trade) and leading companies across Europe. We provide thought leadership on issues that are strategically relevant for the consumer goods sector. To promote collabora6ve processes, ECR Europe proposes best prac6ces for all relevant processes in the value chain. These best prac6ces are developed on the na6onal, European or global level.

Target groups for membership

ECR Europe is open to all companies within the consumer goods sector across Europe. This includes

• food and non food sectors • large, medium and small companies • companies along the en6re value chain, from raw material suppliers, manufacturers, service providers to retailers.

In addi6on and beyond our exis6ng membership, we intend to increase the aAen6on and membership of further companies in the above men6oned groups, e.g. of private label manufacturers, online-‐retailers, new groups of retail companies (e.g. discounters), logis6cs service providers, growers, etc.


The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF): We are the strategic partner of the CGF for Europe. It is crucial to align our acLviLes with those of the CGF and to clearly structure this relaLonship.

GS1 in Europe: As in the past, ECR Europe uses whenever possible GS1 standards and asks for solu6ons when needed. Whereever appropriate, ECR Europe and GS1 in Europe coordinate their ac6vi6es. We need to ins6tu6onalise our rela6onship with GS1 in Europe.

EuroCommerce and AIM: For all ac6vi6es in the focus areas of ECR Europe, these two organisa6ons – both founding members of ECR Europe – are important partners. ECR Europe offers their members the opportunity to put their problems on the joint retailer and supplier agenda. We expect them to promote our solu6ons to their members and give feedback to ECR Europe on the quality of our solu6ons.

European e-‐commerce organisaLons: For the future, it is crucial for ECR Europe to develop strong links with relevant e-‐commerce associa6ons. Since these organisa6ons are currently emerging (e.g. EMOTA and Ecommerce Europe), it is necessary to get to know and contact these organisa6ons and to develop rela6onships with the relevant players.

Private Label Manufacturer AssociaLon (PLMA): PLMA represents a group of manufacturers that is currently not directly involved in ECR Europe even though they are a major actor in the consumer goods value chain. We urgently need to contact PLMA and start collabora6on with them.

Our relaLonships with other organisaLons


Our main strategic goals unLl 2017

1. ECR Europe will be able to provide up-‐to-‐date, validated best pracLces for all relevant processes in the value chain.
