Policy
The policy work that we carry out on behalf of our member companies has become a progressively more important part of our overall agenda. Our guiding concern is to advocate and promote the maintenance of open, competitive markets for our member companies. More specifically, we take formal policy positions on issues of major importance to our member companies when we believe that these can be helpful in advancing their interests.
We typically convey our members' views to senior decision-makers in both the US and UK administrations, with whom we regularly discuss policy issues, as well as by making direct and formal representations to governments on specific matters of concern. In doing so, we make it clear that we are speaking on behalf of all of our members companies, both within BritishAmerican Business, and the British-American Business Council (BABC) for whom we also speak on policy measures.
In addition to this often privileged dialogue with governments, we hold regular policy relevant events on both sides of the Atlantic to provide topical and relevant information to our members, which provide the opportunity for them to hear from, and put their views and concerns to influential industry experts and government decision-makers.
We regularly collaborate with other organisations on policy issues. This has included the American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (AmCham EU), the CBI, UKTI and ThinkLondon.
