Policy Hub

Founded in 2019, Policy Hub emerged from a growing need for specialized communication strategies at the intersection of public policy and sustainability. Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the agency was established to address the increasing complexity of European Union legislation, particularly around environmental and industrial regulations. The founders recognized that many organizations, especially in the textile and fashion sectors, required expert guidance to navigate policy shifts like the European Green Deal and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. Policy Hub positions itself as a dedicated partner for stakeholders who need to understand, influence, and communicate about these regulatory developments.

Current Focus: EU Legislation and Sustainable Transitions
