Global insights

Global rules on taxation, trade, climate and the digital economy do not emerge in a vacuum – they are shaped through negotiations. ICC brings the collective expertise of more than 45 million companies into those negotiations, ensuring that the realities of doing business inform the policies that affect jobs, investment and growth worldwide. By converting business insights into global standards and common positions, we help deliver the foundation that underpins more than US$ 17 trillion in trade each year.

Policy defines the rules of the global economy.

At ICC, we bring business together with governments and other stakeholders to help shape those rules.

As the collective voice of more than 45 million companies, we bring practical, market-based expertise to both national governments and the highest levels of international decision-making.

Our national committees in close to 100 capitals worldwide channel priorities from companies on the ground.
These insights feed into our global policy commissions, where corporate experts and industry leaders shape them into common business positions.

From the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), from the G7 to G20, and from the World Trade Organization to the United Nations, we engage where it matters, to shape global rules that reflect the realities of doing business.
