Advocacy

At the French Chamber, we are committed to promoting growth, job creation, and innovation in the Franco-British business community. We have identified several key advocacy priorities that we believe are essential to achieving these goals:

• Amplifying business voices: A strong and unified business community is essential to achieving policy outcomes that benefit everyone. We seek to amplify the voices of businesses, particularly those that operate across the Channel.
   
• Promoting sustainable practices: We believe that businesses have a responsibility to be good stewards of the environment and to contribute to the communities in which they operate. In that regard, we have created the Sustainability Leads Club and the Net Zero Leadership Programme to promote and share sustainable practices across industries.
   
• Fostering cross-Channel cooperation: To promote cross-Channel flows of goods, services, investment, and people, we believe that it is essential to create a favourable environment that supports these activities. We advocate for policies that reduce barriers to trade, research and investment and make it easier for businesses to operate in both the UK and France.

To achieve these goals, we have created the UK-France Business Forum in collaboration with the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We believe that by working together, we can create a more vibrant and successful business community on both sides of the Channel.
