Burson-Marsteller's work for the bromine industry includes operating the Bromine Science and Environmental Forum (BSEF) in Brussels to influence European Union decisions on brominated flame retardants. The global PR firm’s Brussels office also runs other bromine industry outfits fighting EU bans, such as the Alliance for Consumer Fire Safety in Europe (ACFSE) and the European Brominated Flame Retardant Industry Panel (EBFRIP), which consists of three of the four BSEF corporations. B-M's work for the industry is described in detail in a report prepared by the Corporate Europe Observatory -- "House of Mirrors: Burson-Marsteller Brussels lobbying for the bromine industry."
