About the ICC
The International Chamber of Commerce was created by a small group of entrepreneurs in 1919. At present, the ICC is the largest business organization in the world, counting thousands of member companies in more than 120 countries. Members include many of the world’s biggest multinationals as well as small- and medium-sized companies.
The ICC’s stated mission is “to further the development of an open world economy with the firm conviction that international commercial exchanges are conducive to both greater global prosperity and peace among nations.” Its principal activities are rule setting, dispute resolution, and policy advocacy.
