Respect

In today’s global economy, respect is not just a corporate value — it’s a competitive advantage. At ICC, we’ve seen time and again how a culture of mutual respect fuels innovation, accelerates collaboration, and unlocks new opportunities across our global network of more than 45 million companies.

Respect in Action

Respect isn’t about ideology. It’s about outcomes. When individuals feel seen, heard, and valued — regardless of their background, nationality, or perspective — they are empowered to perform at their best.

This is sound business logic that:

Drives innovation by enabling diverse thinking and creative problem-solving
Strengthens trust with partners, stakeholders and the public at large
Builds resilient, high-performing teams focused on results
Enhances talent acquisition and retention, especially in a competitive global labour market

The ICC Way

At ICC, respect is built into our operating model — from how we manage teams to how we engage with the outside world. Our talent strategies prioritise skills, expertise and potential, not narrow credentials. Our workplace culture fosters open dialogue, shared accountability, and opportunities for our staff to develop and grow.

Our culture is amplified by staff-led programmes that bring fresh ideas, lived experience, and shared purpose into our daily operations.
