ICC G20 Business Scorecard 6th Edition (December 2016)

Decisions taken at the 2016 G20 Leaders’ Summit in Hangzhou, China, were generally reflective of business priorities, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure interconnectivity, promising guidance on multilateral investment policy coordination, an increased focus on innovation and the digital economy, and strengthened collaboration on energy access and climate change.

The purpose of this sixth edition of the ICC G20 Business Scorecard is to examine the G20’s collective policy response to the business recommendations developed during the Chinese presidency.

It is ICC’s view that the Scorecard improves the G20 policy-making process by:

1. Informing G20 governments on how the business community interprets G20 actions, thereby helping the G20 to establish priorities, honour commitments, gauge its progress over time, and identify areas that merit greater attention.
2. Improving business leaders’ ability to tailor recommendations and engagement with the G20 by evaluating whether the G20 has recognized business input and how it has carried through on specific business recommendations.
