ICC and governments -
a partnership for progress
The International Chamber
of Commerce is the world business organization. Through its national committee
network, ICC groups thousands of member companies and business organizations
from over 130 countries and all economic sectors. ICC's promotes an open international
trade and investment system and the market economy worldwide.
National committees maintain
constructive working relations with government authorities at ministerial level.
Often they have direct access to the head of state or government on key international
business issues affecting the national economy.
ICC is a
totally separate
entity from the chamber of commerce movement, although it has a special department
dedicated to chamber of commerce issues.
ICC provides essential business
services, foremost among them those of the ICC International Court of Arbitration,
the world's leading institution of its kind.
Why governments work with
ICC national committees
ICC is the most representative business organization on international business
issues, speaking for every sector in all parts of the world.
The
existence of a flourishing ICC national committee in a country is a positive
signal to investors that business enterprise is welcome there.
ICC membership is a unifying force for the national private sector and provides
government with a one-stop shop on international business policy.
Governments can benefit from the international expertise of specialized ICC
working bodies on an array of business, financial and economic issues.
ICC is recognized by the United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations
as their preferred dialogue partner on issues affecting business worldwide.
ICC rules and standards are used in countless business transactions throughout
the world every day.
