ICC is working to support global business
The ways in which ICC is working to support global business:

1. MAKING TRADE EASIER AND COST EFFICIENT 

ICC has spearheaded a successful global advocacy campaign to secure implementation of the landmark Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) —a trade deal to simplify customs and border procedures that could boost global trade flows by more than US$1 trillion dollars.

2. MAKING THE CASE FOR OPEN MARKETS

ICC’s #TradeMatters campaign provides a direct response to growing populist and protectionist movements in many countries around the world—ensuring a balanced debate on the role of trade integration in today’s economy. 

3. SECURING A BUSINESS VOICE AT THE UN

ICC is the voice of world business at the United Nations. ICC was granted Observer Status at the United Nations—providing business with direct access into the UN system. 

4. SETTING THE RULES FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

ICC standards such as Incoterms ®rules continue to facilitate trillions of dollars of international transactions each year. 

5. ENHANCING ACCESS TO FINANCE

Our market analytics and research continue to drive the global debate on how to enhance the flow of finance to small businesses and entrepreneurs. ICC is also training the next generation of trade finance professionals through the ICC Academy.

6. ENABLING GROWTH IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

ICC works in a range of global forums to champion an open, stable and secure global Internet. ICC is also championing trade reforms to unleash the potential of e-commerce to boost the growth of small businesses.

7. RESOLVING BUSINESS DISPUTES

The ICC International Court of Arbitration enjoyed a record year for new cases in 2016— confirming its status as the world’s premier arbitral institution.
