Associate members

In 2024, EPO welcomed a new category of members: Associate Members.

These are entities that are
- member of the pet sector but not a national pet association,
- already affiliated as a member with one of the EPO members or as an entity collaborating with one of them,
- complying with the EPO charter and with the EPO code of conduct,
- while aiming at supporting EPO with its activities at EU level.

These entities enable EPO to continue strengthening the pet sector's voice at European level while extending its European coverage, with representation in countries within which no pet trade association exists.
