SHIPlEadERSHIP MESSaGE

Even as the U.S. economy rebounds, and global companies seek to take advantage of continued strong growth in many parts of the world, we are confronted by a host of growing challenges to business.

In the wake of the financial crisis, regulatory authorities are paying ever-closer attention to business, while faith in open trade and investment regimes as an engine of growth has faltered. Challenges to companies across a broad swath of issues – including chemicals and product policy, privacy and information management, labor practices and human rights – means you need a reliable advocate in your corner.

For USCIB, this is a time to remain vigilant, to ensure that the business community’s voice is heard, and that the economic recovery rests on a solid footing. In a time of global rebuilding, there is an ever more important need for business to articulate and demon-strate its role in creating growth, jobs and solutions to many of the common global challenges we face.

We are proud that, in 2011, USCIB played an instru-mental role in advancing business interests around the world, promoting regulatory coherence and moving forward on a number of initiatives of critical bottom-line importance to our members. These include:

• promotinga twenty-first century trade policy, including new efforts to open markets for foreign investment and ensuring a level playing field for U.S. firms vis-à-vis state-owned enterprises

• ensuringthecontinuedstability of the global Internet, and moving forward on common recognition of privacy protection in major regions of the world

• fosteringconsensusontheessentialcomponents of effective green growth policies

• movingforwardonacommonlyaccepteddefinition of the roles of business and governments in upholding human rights.

In addition, we were active across a broad range of issues, treaty negotiations and regulatory discussions, much of which are detailed in the pages of this report. We encourage you to review this information and, if you are not already active in USCIB, to engage with us as we move forward, so that we may better represent American business interests internationally.

We are working to expand the ATA Carnet network and provide even more valuable services for exporters and other users of our trade services. The growth of our Carnet operations in recent years has provided a solid financial foundation for an expanding suite of value-added services, an important part of our core mission to promote American business overseas.

USCIB has also undertaken important institutional advancement measures to ensure we can achieve our objectives and maintain a strong organizational footing. These include a strategic planning exercise yielding three key organizational priorities: expanding our membership base, strengthening our global business network and enhancing our non-dues revenue.

In 2012, we will strive to make important contributions to ongoing national – and worldwide – debates over trade, competitiveness, jobs, tax reform, the information economy, green growth, human rights and countless other areas. Our success depends on strong support from our members – we encourage you to share this report and your own enthusiasm for USCIB with the wider world.

This is an important moment for American business. As our International Leadership Award recipient, Andrew Liveris of The Dow Chemical Company, told attendees at our 2011 annual award dinner: “The U.S. can embrace the realities of the global economy and seize its opportunities. Or we can resist it, and in doing so, become its greatest bystander. To my mind, that is not a choice at all. That is why the work of USCIB continues to be so vitally important.”

We look forward to working with you throughout 2012 and beyond.

Impacting Policy and Regulation around the WorldUSCIB’s members, drawn from the top ranks of multinational corporations and professional service firms, must contend with a changing regulatory landscape in the countries where they operate. USCIB’s global advocacy leverages our role as the sole American affiliate of the largest and most influential global business forums, through which we influence decisions affecting the economic, legal and political environments for business in numerous countries.

oEcd’s 50th anniversaryThe 34-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) grew out of the Marshall Plan that revived Europe after World War II. In the years since its founding in 1961, the Paris-based body’s membership has grown to encompass all the major industrialized democracies, and its activities have spanned robust economic analysis, policy coordina-tion and development of best practices in many areas affecting business. As the U.S. business group that officially consults with the OECD, USCIB has long championed the organization’s role in promoting growth-oriented policies among its member nations and around the world. We were delighted to help OECD members and stakeholders celebrate the organization’s

50th anniversary, both in Washington, where in April the State Department hosted a packed reception marking five decades of progress, and at the Paris ministerial in May.

Offshoring, insourcing, industrial policy and manufacturing’s role in the American economy, offshoring, insourcing and industrial policy – all of these were increasingly on the minds of political leaders during 2011. Against this backdrop, USCIB honored Andrew Liveris, CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, with its 2011 International Leadership Award, at a gala November event in New York City. Former President Bill Clinton addressed the gathering, praising Liveris: “I am grateful that an American company with an Australian president and

Green Economies dialogueUSCIB, in coordination with BIAC (the Business & Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD) and other partners, launched the Green Economies Dialogue initiative, a forum for discussion of green growth topics among multiple stakeholders in the lead-up to the UN’s Rio+20 conference in June 2012. Dialogue sessions were held in Washington, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo and Brasilia. Pictured at the Tokyo dialogue (L-R): Hiroyuki Tezuka (JFE Steel Co.), Prof. James Sweeney (Stanford University), Hanni Rosenbaum (BIAC), Amb.

two-thirds of its sales overseas has found a competi-tive way to keep 40 percent of its employees in this country.” For his part, the Dow CEO said: “It is a false choice to say that you can be either pro-business or pro-government. We must work in concert if we want to create jobs, if we want to attract the industries of the future, especially those in advanced manufacturing.” Left photo, L-R: USCIB President and CEO Peter Robinson, President Clinton, Mr. Liveris, USCIB Chairman Harold McGraw III.

2012 Policy advocacy PrioritiesUSCIB promotes open markets, competitiveness and innovation, sustainable development and corporate responsibility, supported by international engagement and prudent regulation. Throughout 2012 and beyond, we will pursue a broad policy agenda, utilizing the unique strengths of our global business network and applying American business ideas and solutions to major world challenges.

USCIB PolICy AdvoCACy Securing open Markets

U.S. multinationals operate in a world of highly competitive, multi-country supply chains, through which trade and investment must flow seamlessly. USCIB and its global network advanced sensible policies to expand global trade and investment at all levels – from making high-level recommenda-tions to the G20 leaders to delivering targeted business advice to those negotiating trade pacts and other market-opening instruments.

a 21st-century trade and Investment agenda In 2011, we pressed for a positive trade agenda that will meet the needs of our most successful exporters. We also advocated for policies to enhance foreign direct investment, and for better public understanding of the benefits of FDI – both inward and outbound – for competitiveness, exports and jobs.

An especially important issue is the role of state-owned enterprises in the global economy. Responding to calls from USCIB members, senior U.S. officials in 2011 pressed governments in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere to develop multilateral rules to discipline state-owned or state-championed enterprises, which are often favored by their home governments and increasingly compete against U.S. firms in third countries. We have successfully placed the issue on the agenda of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks, and are encouraging the OECD to develop standards of “competitive neutrality” for governments to assure level playing fields between public – and private – sector firms.

USCIB is working to drive enhanced understanding among policy makers, and the public, of the value of American companies’ participation in global supply chains. Integrated worldwide production, investment and sales support an increasing number of jobs in the United States, as well as growth among smaller businesses that sell to larger multinationals. We plan to commission new research into the benefits of this integrated system in 2012 and beyond.

outreach to the G20 G20 governments continue to struggle with threats to renewed growth as well as backsliding on earlier pledges to keep markets open. USCIB and each part of our global network played an important role in establishing more effective business input to the evolving G20 process. Just ahead of the October 2011 Cannes Summit, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) helped organize a successful G20 business event attended by USCIB Chairman Harold McGraw III, French President Nicholas Sarkozy and other G20 leaders. Meanwhile, the International Organization of Employers and BIAC (the Business & Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD) held official consultations with G20 labor ministers throughout the year to promote pro-growth, employment-generating policies to address the global jobs crisis.

Securing FTAs’ Passage We worked with an array of companies and business groups to lobby for passage of long-delayed free trade agreements with Colombia, Korea and Panama. “These agreements will strengthen U.S. competitiveness by opening up three important trading partners for more U.S. exports, supporting new jobs at home,” said USCIB President and CEO Peter Robinson. “We hope they signal the beginning of a more ambitious trade and investment agenda to grow our economy.”

Foreign Trade Zones Following outreach to the Commerce Department and the Treasury, USCIB won reversal of proposed changes to the rules governing U.S. foreign trade zones. The changes, which would have automatically applied U.S. anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports processed through foreign trade zones, were criticized by business for undercutting the Obama administration’s National Export Initiative and costing American jobs.

• Providetimelyinputtointernationaldiscussions ofhealthcarepoliciesandtechnology.

Competitiveness is fostered by sensible policies that unleash the power of the private sector to drive innovation in new technologies and processes, and disseminate them throughout the world. Such an approach must rely on open markets, operate in concert with international trade and investment rules, and recognize the highly complex and integrated nature of modern global supply chains. USCIB is working to drive competitiveness and innovation through our work on global Internet and information technology policy, as well as taxation, intellectual property rights and competition policies.

Ensuring an open and dynamic InternetU.S. companies and the broader global business community welcomed adoption in December 2011 of the OECD’s Principles for Internet Policy-Making, which call for a light touch on regulation, saying this is essential to promote economic growth. USCIB was instrumental in providing business input to the development of the OECD principles, and we applauded the OECD Council’s call for member countries to “promote and protect the global free flow of information” online.

Internet governance is expected to be at the forefront of the Decem-ber 2012 World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai, convened by the UN’s International Telecommunications Union. Many have voiced concern at proposals by Russia and some Arab countries to increase the ITU’s authority. As an alternative, USCIB and business organizations around the world pushed hard to maintain and reinforce a vibrant multi-stakeholder model for Internet governance.

We also focused business attention on new privacy proposals from the European Union, which could harmonize rules and increase legal certainty throughout Europe, as well as U.S. efforts to promote online security and innovation. USCIB contributed to the successful adoption of cross-border privacy system among the APEC economies.

The oECd and Global Tax Policy With tax reform high on the agenda in Washington, USCIB convened its fifth annual tax conference in June in Washington, D.C., to explore the implications for multinational companies. The event provided a unique opportunity for the U.S. business community to interact with key representatives from the OECD Center for Tax Policy and Administration, as well as senior tax officials from the U.S. and other OECD countries. The OECD and its Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC), part of USCIB’s global network, joined in organizing the conference. USCIB and BIAC also weighed in with the OECD and its member governments on many aspects of global tax policy, including taxation of intangibles, transfer pricing and taxation of emissions trading permits.

Fighting Against Fakes USCIB and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) continued to be in the vanguard of efforts to rein in the spread of product counterfeiting and piracy. New research from ICC predicts that by 2015, the total impact of trade in fake products will exceed $1 trillion annually. ICC’s BASCAP (Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy) initiative launched a consumer awareness campaign to help show that “fakes cost more” in risks to safety and health, while harming workers in legitimate industries.

APEC Action USCIB attended the November 2011 APEC Summit in Honolulu, and applauded the inauguration of a region-wide system to facilitate commerce through the recognition of corporate privacy practices. The APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules System will reduce barriers to information flows, enhance consumer privacy, and promote interoperability across regional data privacy regimes. USCIB also welcomed Congressional passage of the APEC Business Travel Card Act.

• Encourageeconomicallysoundapproaches tonaturalresourcemanagement,including onwaterandbiodiversity.

• Advocatesustainableproductionand consumptionpoliciesbasedoninnovation, safety,consumerchoiceandthe protectionofproprietaryinformation.

USCIB’s work on sustainable development is based upon a conviction that economic growth, innovation and a robust private sector are essential to improved environmental protection and living conditions worldwide. Our privileged access to major international forums and policy makers means that USCIB members can influence the course of global discussions of green growth, climate, energy and related issues.

Green Economies dialogue A new project funded by the United States Council Foundation, USCIB’s educational and research arm, the Green Economies Dialogue, aims to bring the policy and business communities together for intensive discussion of policies to promote environmen-tally friendly growth and development. We are mobilizing experts from the public and private sectors, along with leading academics and NGOs, with the goal of providing a clear road forward on green growth, green jobs and a host of related issues.

We expect the Green Economies Dialogue to inform policy debate in the lead-up to the June 2012 UN Rio+20 Summit and beyond, addressing such questions as:

• Howcanenvironmentalinnovationbestbedisseminated around the world? • Whatroleshouldinternationalinstitutionsplay? • Howcanthelogjamoftradeandclimatenegotiationsbebroken? • Whatistheproperroleofsubsidiesinencouraging investment in new technologies?

Working in concert with BIAC, the Business & Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD, we convened Green Economies Dialogue workshops in Washington, D.C., Paris, Beijing, Tokyo and Brasilia. In addition, we commissioned research by more than a dozen highly regarded experts exploring a variety of aspects of green growth and green jobs, for publication in the journal Energy Economics ahead of Rio+20. Visit www.green-dialogue.org to learn more.

Some Progress on Climate Change Defying low expectations and difficult circumstances, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 17th Conference of the Parties, which was held in December 2011 in Durban, South Africa, opened the door to a new international climate framework, with appropriate reductions and other actions from both developed and developing countries. The Durban platform lays out new institutions for financing, adaptation and technology to address climate change. “While it will be challenging for all major economies to construct a new international agreement, we look forward to working with governments to seek opportunities for U.S. companies to offer their insight and practical recommendations on implementation in ways that will grow economies, create jobs and advance sustainable development,” stated USCIB President and CEO Peter Robinson.

Chemicals in Products USCIB represented business at key meetings of the Aarhus Convention and the UN’s SAICM (Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management), both of which address disclosure of information regarding chemicals in products across the entire value chain. Timely work by USCIB and other business groups was rewarded when parties to the Aarhus Convention rebuffed efforts to widen possible public environmental disclosure rules to include proprietary product information.

Promoting Clean Energy Exports Meeting the global demand for American clean energy technology will be critical for job creation and American technological leadership in the years ahead. We need a more coordinated and aggressive approach by the U.S. government in promoting exports of environmental goods and services. USCIB urged accelerated efforts to promote U.S. clean energy exports at a July 2011 Capitol Hill briefing, putting forward a six-point plan to help guide U.S. action in promoting exports of environmental goods and services.

USCIB PolICy AdvoCACy advancing corporate Responsibility

2012 Policy advocacy Priorities

CORPORATE RESPONSibiliTy

Provide business support for efforts to improve labor conditions worldwide

• WorktoincreasetheILO’sfocuson improvingthecapacityofnationallabor programs,includingthroughtheBetter WorkProgram.

• PromotebusinessallianceswiththeILO andotherorganizationstoaddressforced andchildlabor.

Foster practical international discussion of the role of business in society

• Supportbusinessimplementationofthe UNguidingprinciplesonbusinessand humanrights.

• Promotevoluntaryapproachesto corporate responsibility in international policydiscussions.

Make the case for extended international self-regulation in marketing and advertising

• Promotethebenefitsofself-regulation inkeyemergingmarkets(Mexico,Brazil, Russia,IndiaandChina).

Global companies are increasingly vigilant regarding labor conditions in their supply chains and to their impact on the communities where they do business, especially in countries where the rule of law may be weak. USCIB, with longstanding expertise and strong linkages to global bodies like the UN and the International Labor Organization, is ideally positioned to advise members on how best to navigate this sometimes rocky terrain, and to represent industry views to international bodies concerned with labor, human rights and corporate responsibility.

Business and Human Rights Companies are increasingly asked to validate the integrity of their operations and those of their suppliers around the world. New initiatives, like the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and provisions of the Dodd-Frank law, require business to disclose efforts to purge supply chains of forced labor and other human rights abuses.

USCIB has worked hard to engage companies and policy makers on the importance of maintaining high standards and improving performance throughout the supply chain. We have also sought to foster alternatives to the prescriptive approach contained in Dodd-Frank and similar measures, which fail to address underlying problems of governance and are therefore unlikely to meaningfully curb human rights abuses.

In 2011, we were deeply involved in the development of UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, overseen by Prof. John Ruggie, the UN special representative for business and human rights. The principles instruct companies to respect human rights and institute a due diligence process to “know and show” that they do. But they also clearly state that companies cannot assume the responsibilities of governments, and that suppliers are themselves responsible for complying with national law and respecting human rights.

China Embraces ICC Marketing Code When the Chinese advertising industry decided it needed its first-ever self-regulatory code, it looked to the International Chamber of Commerce’s Marketing and Advertising Code. The ICC Code, newly revised and consolidated with extensive input from USCIB members, requires marketing and advertising to be honest, decent, legal – and truthful, and includes a number of more focused provisions on everything from digital advertising to green marketing. USCIB outreach was an important factor in convincing the Chinese to embrace the ICC Code.

Atlanta Forum on Human Rights In April 2011, USCIB, the International Organization of Employers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce organized another in a series of workshops on how companies address forced labor, child labor and human rights. “Engaging Business – Implementing Respect for Human Rights,” hosted by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, reviewed the UN Guiding Principles (see above). L-R: Brent Wilton (IOE), Dawn Conway (LexisNexis), David Schilling (Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility), Ed Marcum (Humanity United).

oECd Guidelines Revision The 2011 update of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the most comprehensive non-binding code of responsible business conduct, was strengthened with input from the business community via USCIB and BIAC, the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD. The OECD Guidelines cover disclosure, human rights, employment and industrial relations, environment, bribery, consumer interest, science and technology, competition and taxation.

USCIB provides a critical platform for American business to influence laws, regulations and treaties around

the world. We do this through direct outreach to governments, policy makers and international organiza-

tions, and via representation at key diplomatic negotiations. We leverage the power of our global network –

the International Chamber of Commerce, International Organization of Employers, and the Business

& Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD – thereby amplifying the voice of U.S. business. USCIB

members and staff traveled to dozens of countries in 2011, advancing the views and priorities of

American business in key international forums. Here is just a sampling of where we went.

AWorldView,aSeatattheTableWith an incomparable global business network, USCIB is uniquely positioned to help shape law and policy around the

world. USCIB serves as the American affiliate of three global business bodies – the International Chamber of

Commerce, the International Organization of Employers, and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the

OECD – and works closely with partner business organizations at the national level in many countries. This unique

network provides substantive and unparalleled access to international policy makers and regulatory authorities.

ICC, IOE and BIAC are the recognized private-sector representatives in the United Nations system, the 34-nation

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the International Labor Organization (ILO).

They speak with authority on behalf of business in numerous diplomatic conferences, and they interface with national

government delegations to ensure business views are taken into consideration.

InternationalChamberofCommercePromotes international trade and investment, and helps business meet the challenges and opportunities of globalization. ICC has three main activities – rule setting, arbitration and policy – and provides essential services such as ICC Arbitration, training, commercial crime fighting and customs facilitation. A world network of national committees address national and regional business priorities. More than 2,000 experts drawn from ICC’s member companies feed their knowledge and experience into crafting the ICC stance on specific business issues. The United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the G20 and many other intergovernmental bodies, both international and regional, are kept in touch with the views of international business through ICC.

InternationalOrganizationofEmployersRepresents business interests in social and labor matters at the global level, especially in the International Labor Organization, which sets international workplace standards and where employers are represented alongside trade unions and governments in a unique tripartite structure. Communicates business views on the ILO’s work, including on education and training, termination of employment, social security, health and safety, and labor standards, and represents employers within the ILO’s complaints and supervisory mechanisms. IOE also represents the views of business in the G20 process, the International Standardization Organization, and the UN Human Rights Council, among other organizations.

Business&IndustryAdvisory committee to the oEcdAs the officially recognized representative of the OECD business community, advocates consensus industry views to the OECD and its member govern-ments, to ensure that the resulting policy instruments and guidance assist private sector growth and prosperity and, thereby, contribute to the global economy. Coordinates and directly communicates business positions to the OECD in such areas as trade, economic and financial policies, foreign invest-ment, information and telecommunications policy, social policy, taxation, energy and environmental policy.

ata carnet – the Merchandise PassportATA Carnets permit duty-free, tax-free entry of commercial goods into some 80 countries and customs territories for up to one year, speeding shipment of professional equipment, goods for trade shows and product demonstrations and many other products. USCIB issues and guarantees Carnets nationwide in cooperation with our designated service providers. The worldwide Carnet system is overseen by the International Chamber of Commerce and the World Customs Organization.

Among the major developments of 2011:

• MexicocompleteditsentryintotheCarnetsystem.

• TheCarnetsystemwasextendedintheUnited Arab Emirates.

• Therewasprogresstowardadoptionofthe Carnet system in Brazil.

USCIB undertook training programs aimed at U.S. Customs and the Carnet user community throughout the United States. We also developed innovative marketing campaigns targeting high-value users, such as jewelers, and highlighted some of the more unusual ways customers are using “merchandise passports.”

Icc ‘dispute Resolution – new Rules and a new Role forNorthAmericaICC’s International Court of Arbitration is the world’s foremost body for the resolution of cross-border commercial disputes. USCIB promotes use of the system, nominates arbitrators, refers parties to attorneys, organizes training and conferences, and serves as a resource for those wanting information on the arbitration process and other ICC dispute resolution services.

Newly revised ICC Rules of Arbitration were unveiled in September 2011 and entered into force at the beginning of 2012. The much-anticipated new Rules reinforce the Court’s commitment towards an efficient and cost-effective arbitration process responsive to the interests and requirements of users worldwide, including the business community, states and state entities.

In addition, the ICC Court’s North American offices, housed at USCIB’s New York headquarters under the direction of Josefa Sicard-Mirabal, organized success-ful conferences and events in New York, Miami and other locations. It also geared up for the establishment in 2012 of a full-fledged arm of the Court’s secretariat in New York, which will enable cases to be managed directly from North America in addition to Paris and Hong Kong, effectively covering all major time zones.

Mexico’s full entry into the Carnet system was a big boost for business.

Membership 2011 saw strong increases in the number of new USCIB members (up 53% over 2010) as well as new member

revenue (up 42%). This strong performance reflects a growing awareness among internationally focused

companies of the importance of information, access and influence at the three global business organizations

with which USCIB is affiliated.

We realize that business associations like USCIB face increasing competition in adding and retaining members. As part of USCIB’s strategic planning process, our goals for 2012-2015 include:

• improvedcommunicationofouruniquevaluepropositiontomembersandprospects • increasedinvestmentsinpublicrelations,marketingandbrandingtogrowandretainmembers • leveragingtechnologytodeepenmemberengagementinUSCIB.

With a number of projects underway to move forward in each of these areas, the organization is well positioned to

USCIBStaff

USCIBMissionThe United States Council for International Business advances the global interests of American business both at home and abroad. It is the American affiliate of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD, and the International Organization of Employers (IOE). As such, it officially represents U.S. business positions both in the main intergovernmental bodies and vis-à-vis foreign business communities and their governments.

USCIB addresses a broad range of policy issues with the objective of promoting an open system of world trade, finance and invest-ment in which business can flourish and contribute to economic growth, human welfare and protection of the environment.

USCIB formulates its positions in numerous committees and other working bodies composed of business experts drawn from its membership of 300 global corporations, professional firms and industry associations. It advocates these positions to the U.S. government and to intergovernmental organizations such as the OECD, the WTO, the ILO and other bodies of the U.N. system with which its international affiliates have official consultative status on behalf of world business.

USCIB helps facilitate international trade through its work on harmonization of commercial practices in the ICC. It issues and guarantees ATA Carnets, documents under which merchandise can be temporarily imported duty-free into the U.S. and other countries. It promotes use in the U.S. of the ICC International Court of Arbitration for the settlement of commercial disputes.
