Environment and Energy
 
The Commission on Environment & Energy develops business positions on major environmental and energy issues, and maintains ICC as the primary representative of business in key intergovernmental negotiations. The ICC Business Charter for Sustainable Development, available in 22 languages, has won the support of over 2000 companies and associations from more than 50 countries.
