The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is a world business organisation which champions the global economy as a force for economic growth, job creation and prosperity.

The activities of ICC cover a broad spectrum, from arbitration and dispute resolution to making the case for open trade and the market economy system, business self-regulation, fighting corruption or combating commercial crime.
Through its national committees, ICC has direct access to national governments all over the world. The organisation's Paris-based international secretariat feeds business views into inter-governmental organisations on issues that directly affect business operations.

Member companies and business associations can shape the ICC stance on any given business issue by participating in the work of ICC commissions. Commissions are the bedrock of ICC, composed of a total of more than 500 business experts who give freely of their time to formulate ICC policy and elaborate its rules. Commissions scrutinize proposed international and national government initiatives affecting their subject areas and prepare business positions for submission to international organisations and governments.

Powergen is represented on the Commissions for Business in Society and Energy and the Environment.
