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."
