More About the Committee
Businesses are America’s primary engines of job creation and economic growth. They need a regulatory environment that is prudent, pragmatic and minimizes adverse impacts on investment, innovation, job creation, economic growth and confidence in the economy.
Business Roundtable’s commitment to strengthening the U.S. economy and accelerating job creation includes:
- Leading on corporate governance best practices, such as those outlined in Business Roundtable’s Principles of Corporate Governance, and practices to flexibly respond to shareholder concerns, ensuring that rules and regulations focus on long-term value creation.
- Leading on corporate ethics, including by sponsoring the Institute for Corporate Ethics in partnership with the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.
- Fostering smarter regulation, including offering practical alternatives to, and flexible implementation of, recently enacted financial regulation laws.
- Tackling challenging public policy issues, including policies to relieve credit bottlenecks, weak demand for housing and other factors constraining U.S. job creation and economic growth.
