Reference: In 2024, the CPS received the status of an Observer organization in the Business at OECD (BIAC). This allows the SUP to involve its members in Policy groups, where companies can influence policies related to their industries. Policy groups bring together CEOs from more than 55 countries and various corporate sectors at the global level. These groups jointly formulate positions on policy initiatives that are considered by the OECD and governments for international and national implementation.

Business at OECD (BIAC) is the officially recognized business institute of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), bringing together 29 national business organizations from OECD member countries and more than 280 organizations from non-OECD countries. Since 1962, BIAC has been representing business interests in the OECD, helping businesses interact with governments. The main goal of BIAC is to promote economic growth, sustainable development and prosperity through participation in global governance processes.

What does this mean for SUP members?

Influence on global policy: Entrepreneurs can participate in key discussions within the OECD
Access to BIAC’s global network of over 9 million companies
Advocacy and promotion of important economic reforms that will contribute to the development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine and the integration of our economy into global markets

Business at OECD (BIAC) includes over 10 expert groups, including international industry organizations, 15+ policy groups influencing public policy at the OECD, and 45+ partner companies in the BIAC corporate program.
