Americas

“International policy developments have a direct impact on North American business, commerce and competitiveness. IOE provides an essential platform for business input into top labour, sustainability and corporate responsibility policy and standard-setting discussions, which in turn guide regulatory deliberations in the countries where the members of our region operate. IOE is also well-positioned to advocate for international policy and drive changes that promote job creation and sustainable enterprises. As we emerge from the Covid-19 crisis and seek to build back better, the work and impact of IOE is more valuable than ever.”


Tom Mackall, Regional Vice-President for North America

“As Latin American businesses strive to consolidate their competitive position in the global economy, the IOE provides employers’ organisations in the region with material and hands-on support to advocate for labour-market and other reforms that will generate a more enabling environment for sustainable enterprise. The annual Ibero-American Presidents’ Meeting, supported by the IOE, provides a perfect occasion for the exchange of experience and best practice at the highest level of national employers’ organisations and builds solidarity.”


Alexandre Furlan, Regional Vice-President for Latin America
