Who we are


The Spring Alliance is a network of members from all corners of civil society and beyond which is managed by four leading European civil society organisations: the European Environmental Bureau, the European Trade Union Confederation , Social Platform and Concord ; the Spring Alliance steering committee.

Membership is open to social organisations, trade unions, environmental organisations, development NGOs, Fair Trade movement, anti-poverty campaigners, consumers organisations and representatives from the research and business community.
