Business network | Business at OECD

Business Network

We represent businesses of all sizes and sectors, in the OECD’s member countries and beyond

Business at OECD is driven by its network of private sector organisations. Our National Member Organisations are at the core of Business at OECD's constituency, and represent the leading business and employer groups from the OECD’s member countries. They also nominate companies of all sizes to directly engage in our work, and may also support Business at OECD’s activities as Friends. In addition, Business at OECD includes a growing number of Observer Organisations, which are prominent business groups from non-OECD countries committed to the same business principles as the constituents. Business at OECD’s expertise is further enriched by Associate Expert Groups, which contribute unique insights of international sector organisations.

National Member Organisations

Our National Member Organisations are the leading business and employers’ organisations in all the OECD’s member countries, representing Business at OECD’s core constituents. They provide strategic guidance on overarching policy orientations and shape Business at OECD’s positions. The National Member Organisations nominate their staff, national associations and company representatives to engage in Business at OECD’s work.

Friends

Business at OECD greatly benefits from the active support of a number of multinational corporations that provide financial contributions and secondments to help fulfil Business at OECD’s mission as the global business voice in all aspects of the OECD’s policymaking. Participation in this corporate engagement program is selective and subject to strict eligibility criteria, as interested companies must be supported by Business at OECD's National Member Organisations.
