OUR WORK
Through its strong relationship with the government, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines is able to support member companies by facilitating market access and working on the creation of a level playing field for both European and Filipino companies alike.
The ECCP's 20 sector committees convene to discuss cross-cutting and specific issues, listing key recommendations on actions needed to support market access for European businesses, and enable long term economic welfare for the Philippines. Below are our advocacy wins in 2020.

From staying updated on the latest issuances and developments to participating in highly substantial conversations, these have been valuable in keeping apace with the disruption and change in the markets. ECCP’s support and responsiveness has been helpful in navigating the complex environment and allowing us to continue delivering our promise of nourishing Filipinos and the world.“

“As a global company based in the UK, being a member of a well-known chamber is a good start. It compliments your reputation and credibility and it also helps in making connections with local and multinational companies in the Philippines. The ECCP has extended more than that, from the steady access of information and policies, industry trends, to the most relevant issues. The ECCP has provided an avenue for opportunities and partnership. We are a proud member of the ECCP and we continue to stay true to our commitment in protecting people and enhancing lives with the help of partners like them.“
