Message from our Executive Director: 2025 Season's Greetings

Dear Colleagues,

As we look back on an eventful year, we sincerely thank you for your support and active cooperation. Your active contributions enabled us to effectively represent business interests in the OECD's discussions across a wide range of policy areas.

In 2025, we expanded our global reach, as we welcomed new business organisations, international sectoral organisations and Friends companies to our business network. We strengthened our engagement with the OECD as institutional stakeholder throughout the year, and we also supported B7 Canada and B20 South Africa as strategic partners. In today's geopolitical uncertainties, the mission of the OECD as a pathfinder and promoter of policies that uphold the rule of law, and foster  competitiveness and private sector-led growth globally is more important than ever.

Doing business is what connects people across the world and enables mutual benefits for more prosperous living standards. We look forward to continuing in 2026 and will keep emphasising the value of dialogue and evidence-based policies.

As 2025 draws to a close, we would like to thank you again for your engagement throughout the year. On behalf of our team in Paris, best wishes for the holidays and the New Year. We look forward to seeing you in 2026.
