Policy

Representing and speaking on behalf of the transatlantic business community with governments and other relevant stakeholders on issues relevant to the community is one of the three key pillars of BAB’s work.

Policy Agenda

BAB's annual Policy Agenda defines a set of priorities developed by leading firms within the network for the year to come and informs BAB’s programme and advocacy work on both sides of the Atlantic.
