ICC Ghana to mark centenary celebration

As part of efforts to mark the centenary celebration of International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) worldwide, ICC Ghana is hosting a Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) Breakfast Meeting to deliberate on coping strategies for climate change.

The meeting is expected to bring together people from various classes within the society to share ideas, deliberate on happenings in the sector and educate them to make informed decisions.

Other activities include an Africa Conference on International Arbitration, Africa Digital Trade Forum and stakeholder workshop on coping strategies for SMEs to Climate Change and a year-long advocacy campaign on trade facilitation and how to combat piracy, counterfeit and illicit trade.

A statement issued by ICC Ghana on June 25 said the theme for the Breakfast Meeting is: “Creating an enabling environment for business to work for everyone, every day and everywhere in Ghana.”

A former Supreme Court Judge and Chairman of the Drafting Committee of Experts of the Company’s Act 2019, Justice Date-Bah, is expected to give a review of the new Companies Act and its implications for businesses in the country. The event also has the Minister of Business Development, Mr Mohammed Awal, as the guest speaker.

Mission

ICC’s founding constitution states that the organisation’s mission is “to further the development of an open-world economy with the firm conviction that international commercial exchanges are conducive to both greater global prosperity and peace among nations”.

Building on that foundation, ICC’s renewed mission to “make business work for everyone, every day, everywhere” is now aligned with our purpose in the context of the global challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

With members in more than 100 countries, ICC represents 45 million companies and more than one billion workers worldwide. ICC is the only private sector organisation to hold United Nations Permanent Observer status.

In areas from trade finance and international arbitration to climate change and Internet governance, ICC works to bring the expertise of business into global discussions and decision-making processes at the international level.

The Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation, which is jointly led by ICC, is redefining the way trade facilitation reforms are implemented by working with governments and businesses from the ground up to tackle trade barriers with a business mindset.
