Governance

ICC is governed by its Executive Board, World Council, Chairmanship and Secretary General.

The governing bodies of ICC are:

  • World Council

ICC’s supreme governing body, the World Council is the equivalent of the general assembly of a major intergovernmental organisation. In this case however, the delegates are business executives and not government officials.

  • Chairmanship and Secretary General

The Chair, their immediate predecessor and the Vice-Chairs form the Chairmanship. ICC’s Secretary General, appointed by the World Council, heads the International Secretariat and works closely with national committees to carry out ICC’s work programme.

  • ICC Executive Board

The Executive Board is responsible for developing and implementing ICC’s strategy, policy and programme of action and for overseeing the financial affairs of the institution.
