ICC G20 Advisory Group

   

     

     

     

ICC har established the G20 Advisory Group, comprised of business leaders and CEOs from major global corporations, to effectively target G20 policy development on a global scale. The group aims to establish an enduring, legitimate voice of global business - eventually recognized by the G20 governments as the primary source of business expertise on the global policy agenda.

WHY ICC?

Present in over 120 countries through its global network, ICC is a representative body that speaks with authority on behalf of enterprises from all sectors in every part of the world.

Today's complex challenges are global and require effective international collaboration.

The G20 has been designated as the "premier forum" for international economic cooperation. This emerging high-level group is a natural fit for ICC's unique policy stewardship - helping government leaders make complex decisions affecting global welfare.

By virtue of its long history of authoritative involvement in international policy-making and its global reach - including its role in the creation of the Bretton Wooks institutions at the end of the second world war - ICC is exceptionally positioned to represent world business.

Through its top-level consultative status with the United Nations, ICC has been the highly-regarded voice of business at the UN and its specialized agencies since 1946.

Our policy advocacy focuses on issues that are part of the G20 agenda and business priorities. ICC will draw upon its long experience in building a broad consensus within the world business community on complicated policy issues, while steering clear of lowest common denominator positions. We will do this through a global and inclusive consultative process that will seek input from companies and business organizations of alll sizes and in all regions of the world.
