The structure of essenscia is modelled on the reality of the Belgian institutions, with federal, regional and community areas of competence.
essenscia bruxelles, essenscia vlaanderen and essenscia wallonie, the three regional sections of essenscia, act as spokesmen for companies to the Brussels, Flemish and Walloon authorities on regional and community matters.
essenscia is made up of multidisciplinary skills centres which also deal with the main issues, irrespective of the level of power.
The 17 professional sections of essenscia represent and promote interests specific to their sector of activities.
essenscia represents and defends the sector’s interests at a European level through active involvement in Cefic (the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations) and the FEB (Federation of Belgian Companies).
