Goals / Remit
The International Organisation of Employers (IOE) is the largest and most representative network of the private sector in the world. It was created in 1920 and its membership consists of employers’ and business organisations in 149 countries, who together represent over fifty million companies across the world employing hundreds of millions of workers. IOE works with independent, representative organisations of the private sector, and engages with its members to adopt and integrate the principles of the 2030 Agenda as they relate to labour and social policy; responsible business and investment; digitalization; youth employment; entrepreneurship; sustainable business; transition from the informal to the formal economy; the development of the employability of employees; identifying gaps, including in relation to gender equality and youth; and strengthening mechanisms and incentives for compliance.For almost 100 years, in social and employment policy debate taking place in the ILO, to which the IOE is the sole representative of business, and across the UN, G20 and other emerging forums, the IOE is recognised for its unique expertise, advocacy and influence as a powerful and balanced voice for business at the international level.
Our Vision is:
To create a sustainable economic environment around the world, in collaboration with our members and partners, that promotes free enterprise and is fair and beneficial to both business and society.
Looking forward to our next 100 years, we have made it our Mission:
To serve our members, by fighting and advocating for the interests of employers and business in international policy debates.
Our passion at the IOE is to listen, and to argue for the points of view of our members to be taken into account globally. The IOE values open dialogue, action-oriented outcomes and concerted commitment.Main EU files targeted
