The Directorate-General for Infrastructure and Logistics (DG INLO) is responsible for overseeing the European Parliament's vast infrastructure portfolio, which spans around 1.3 million square meters of building space across Europe. This includes a variety of tasks that are crucial to ensuring the smooth functioning and sustainability of the Parliament's operations. DG INLO's responsibilities go beyond just building management; it is also in charge of a range of essential services such as catering, mail distribution, furniture management, and transport for Parliament Members and staff. This comprehensive approach ensures that all physical and logistical needs are met, supporting the European Parliament’s political activities in a sustainable way.

The Luxembourg Environmental and Sustainable upgrade Unit is in charge of the site of Luxembourg and of all European Parliament Liaison Offices. We are committed to improve the sustainability of our buildings by rationalising their use, improving their energy efficiency, and maintaining state-of-the-art installation, in order to reduce their overall carbon footprint.
