Who We Are

USCIB

The United States Council for International Business is the sole Ameri-

can affiliate of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the

Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD, and the

International Organisation of Employers (IOE). As such, it officially rep-

resents U.S. business positions both in the main intergovernmental bod-

ies and vis-à-vis foreign business communities and their governments.

It works on a broad range of policy issues as an advocate for an open

system of world trade, finance and investment in which business can

flourish and contribute to economic growth, human welfare and protec-

tion of the environment.

The USCIB Tax Committee advocates for sound and appropriate inter-

national tax policy to maintain American business competitiveness by

bringing the voice of U.S. business to the table at home and abroad.

OECD

The mission of the OECD is to help its member countries to achieve sus-

tainable economic growth and employment and to raise the standard of

living in member countries while maintaining financial stability – all this

in order to contribute to the development of the world economy. OECD’s

taxation work covers a broad range of activities, including tax evasion,

harmful tax practices, electronic commerce and environmental taxes.

The OECD produces internationally comparable statistics and engages

in monitoring and assessment of policies. National tax systems are ana-

lyzed for their effect on labor, capital and product markets.

BIAC

BIAC is the officially recognized representative of the OECD business

community. Its primary objective is to inform the business community

on the implications of OECD policies on business and industry and to

influence the direction of those initiatives.
