ICC Benefits to members

The ICC is the world business organization, a representative body that since 1919 has spoken with authority on behalf of enterprises from all sectors in every part of the world

Through the ICC, member companies project views that command respect and are heeded by governments.

• ICC gives priority to the issues that most urgently concern its members.
• ICC opens the door to the corridors of power. Before the G8 Summit every year, ICC leaders put across business views on global economic issues at a private meeting with the head of the host government.
• ICC members are instrumental in drawing up rules that businesses use every day to reduce costs and uncertainties - on arbitration, banking, commercial contracts and trade. In the process they gain unique insights into the vital area of trade facilitation.
• ICC brings together the world's biggest, most influential and dynamic companies. In joining ICC, a company becomes part of the world's most prominent business organisation. ICC members gain influence at national level through ICC's global network of national committees and at the international level through ICC's privileged links with major intergovernmental organisations, such as the World Trade Organisation, the G8 and the United Nations.
• ICC is a treasure trove of information and experience in all matters affecting business operations. Members contribute their own know-how to ICC statements on the topics that most concern them. They tap into the vast multidisciplinary knowledge of the many hundreds of business experts who carry out the work of ICC's policy commissions.
• ICC is open to the private sector throughout the world. At the same time, it offers members many of the advantages of belonging to a prestigious club, such as the chance to forge business relationships at the highest level at exclusive ICC events.

ICC International Court of Arbitration is the leading international arbitration body. ICC arbitration is fast, flexible, cost-efficient, confidential, high calibre and enforceable.

Our Policy Commissions continue to produce rules and codes of practice in areas where new guidelines are needed. We continue to revise and update our marketing codes of practice to keep them up to date with international requirements.

Membership of ICC Australia is the only way that Australian companies and individuals can play a direct role in this exciting arena.
