We are the collective voice of over 45 million businesses – united behind a common vision that trade and international cooperation are essential to bring positive change to the world.
As the only private sector organisation with a seat at the table in the United Nations, we have privileged access into a range of major intergovernmental processes that have the power to shape the regulatory environment for business globally.
From macro to micro, from multilateral to national, we help companies navigate cross-border challenges in a way no other organisation can.
What does it mean to be a member of ICC?
In a world of talk shops we are laser focused on delivering results that make a difference in the real economy. As an ICC member, you will have the opportunity to shape our strategic agenda – as well as our substantive engagement with governments and in major international negotiations.

Shape standards
The best way to ensure our rules and codes work for your business is to get under the bonnet. All of our tools are developed and/or revised through deep consultation with experts from member companies.

Set the agenda
We provide a responsive service: If you see an area of the economy in need of real, workable standards we’re always open to a discussion of how our platform can be put to use.

Early access
Members enjoy privileged access to any new ICC products – in the case of our technical standards, ensuring you can adapt your systems ahead of the competition.
Who can become a member?
We are YOUR ICC. Any chambers of commerce, companies, banks, law firms, individuals, associations, and other organisations are welcome to join ICC.
How can a business join ICC’s global network?
There are two points of entry to become an ICC member:
Via an ICC national committee
ICC national committees drive the adoption and implementation of ICC policies to government authorities, administrative agencies and other institutions. In addition, they make sure that national business concerns and perspectives are taken into account in ICC’s policy recommendations to governments and international organisations.
You can join ICC through the national committee or group in their country or region, automatically becoming a member of ICC at both the international and national level.
As a direct member
In countries where an ICC national committee has yet to be formed, please contact the ICC Global Headquarters in Paris for information on how to become a direct member.
Direct membership fees are reflective of how the World Bank classifies your country’s economy.
ICC direct membership fees 2025
based on the World Bank list of economies
Classification | Company/bank/law firm/other organisation (more than 50 employees)* | Company/bank/law firm/other organisation (less than 50 employees)* | Chamber of Commerce* |

These fees do not apply in countries where an ICC national committee is established. Each ICC national committee sets its own rates, according to the local economy.
Under ICC membership, Chambers of Commerce can also take part of the World Chambers Federation, ICC’s unique and truly global forum connecting, leading and inspiring the global network of chambers and their respective business communities.
