OUR WORK

OUR MEMBER STORIES
“We have been with the ECCP for almost 20 years, given the ECCP's professional approach to commercial and political matters. The ECCP has unmatched reach, historically-developed relationships, and experience. Upgrading to a premium membership is an investment into the ECCP’s advocacy prowess and assurance to be heard by the government, due to the ECCP’s well-developed relationships. Our membership facilitated joint advocacies shared and expanded not only through the ECCP, Integrity Initiative, and JFC, but other European chambers as well, opening doors to harvesting opportunities in differentiating our services.“

They swiftly transitioned their physical services and programs that aim to strengthen business relationships virtually; this includes access to the latest news, insights from leaders in the field, joint foreign chambers, and research that is instrumental in improving people’s lives. Joining ECCP has been paramount to our organizational success. We highly recommend an ECCP membership for anyone who is committed to building long-lasting business relationships across the globe.“

The variety of subjects and quality of presenters that came to share their experience in multiple webinars were a source of valuable information and guidance; the subjects and speakers consistently exceeded my expectations that I made a point to attend as many webinars as my schedule allowed. ECCP’s wide reach and professional offerings makes it a valuable partner to any Filipino business in these challenging times we live in.“
