International Chamber of Commerce

No nature, no business. 🌳🐝

Forests, oceans, soil and raw materials power every sector and every operation.

Protecting them is everyone’s business.

At ICC, we champion environmental sustainability—working to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems. Our efforts reflect a reality: business performance and environmental health are deeply connected.

Protecting ecosystems is what keeps business moving forward.

Behind every trusted trade document is a global network of experts.

This week, 60+ origin experts from 42 countries united to address key challenges in strengthening origin certification and helping businesses benefit from FTAs.

➡️ Key highlights from the room:
✔️ The Hospodářská komora České republiky and the Ekonomike e Kosovës joined the ICC WCF Certificate of Origin Accreditation Chain, bringing the network to 42 countries under the trusted ICC WCF CO Label.
✔️ Progress continues on an ICC framework for non-preferential rules of origin, while access to digital services is expanding to make these tools more readily available to chambers worldwide.
✔️ We also heard three excellent “show-and-tell” sessions from chambers sharing practical business models and operational experience: Business West , CNI - Confederação Nacional da Indústria , and the Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije.

Rules of origin are complex.
This is where chambers come in.
They play a critical role in building trust, ensuring compliance, and facilitating trade.
With strong certification systems in place, businesses can trade with greater confidence and keep goods moving across borders.

What happens when global fragmentation starts to reshape how business operates?

In our latest Trading Thoughts episode, ICC Secretary General John W.H. Denton AO joins Vrinda Tiwari to unpack a shifting global landscape and its impact on multilateral cooperation.

From WTO reform to the stabilising role of business, the conversation highlights growing pressure points across the system, as well as tangible solutions.

Business isn't watching from the sidelines.
