By the numbers

With over 60 years of experience connecting the business community with the OECD and its governments, Business at OECD (BIAC) advocates for policies that enable the private sector to pursue economic growth, development, and societal prosperity. Our global network spans over 55 national business and employer bodies that appoint multinational corporations and small businesses from all sectors into our strategic efforts with the OECD. We connect business and government representatives on a daily basis through strategic and policy meetings. We aim to shape OECD initiatives to promote competitive economies and better business for a sustainable future.

Why business leaders believe in our impact

"Over the years, we have provided business perspectives and thought leadership to the OECD through the active participation of our leading business and employer organizations—and the corporate representatives they appoint to our work. There is no better forum than the OECD to powerfully demonstrate that business is a dynamic solutions partner for international collaboration."
