Organised by EBC Foundation and hosted by CMPEAE – Empresa de Águas e Energia do Município do Porto (Porto water and energy utility), the Knowledge Picnic on Sustainability Reporting took place on May 14–15, 2025, in Porto, Portugal. The event brought together representatives from European water utilities for a focused exchange of knowledge, challenges and best practices.
In view of the upcoming retirement of Mr. Peter Dane, Managing Director of EBC, the Board of the Foundation has decided to appoint Ms. Viktoria Iskova, currently EBC's Programme Coordinator, as his successor.
Due to internal changes, EBC is looking for enthusiastic candidates for the position of Programme Coordinator.
The EBC Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of registration for the 19th edition of its benchmarking exercises for water services, IB2024 (2025), and invites water supply and wastewater utilities from across Europe and beyond to participate.
This year, the annual meeting of the EBC-programme participants was held from November 27 to 29 in Turin, former capital of Italy and city of Baroque. EBC’s annual event brought together more than 75 representatives from participating drinking water supply and sanitation utilities.
On May 14, 2024, the EBC team took part in the Tri-national (D/PL/UA) Workshop on standardization in the Water sector at IFAT Munich, the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.
