Workplace active certification (WAC) is a European project led by the European Federation for Company Sport (EFCS) with the assistance of 9 international partners :

Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI), French Federation for Company Sport (FFSE), Evaleo, University of Copenhagen, Sport & Citizenship, Chamber  of  Commerce  of Korinth, Olympic Committee of Slovenia, Artvelde University College Ghent, Maltese Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Sport and Voluntary Organisations.

This project is supported by the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ programme.

The project aims at valorising and recognising private or public sector organisations hereafter called participating organisations through the creation of a certification scheme, which successfully engage in the promotion of physical activity, employees’ health and well-being.

The goal of the WAC project is to build this certification together with experts and professional organisations willing to engage in this path.

The  WAC   project   will  be   able  to promote the participating organisations and their successful experiences in implementing physical activity in the workplace, as well as to increase awareness of good practices and models.

Initiated in 2018 following the “Paris Call for an Active Workplace Label” ratified during the European Meetings of Company Sport (EMoCS), the WAC project kicked off in February 2020 and will run until September 2022 with the awarding of the first WAC certifications. An award ceremony will be organised to publicly deliver the certification to the companies and highlight the results.
