ABOUT US

We bridge markets and create opportunities for European and Philippine businesses.

Founded in 1978, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) is a multilateral chamber with over 900 members and a strong presence across key regions in the Philippines. We advocate for fair and forward-looking economic policies, support market access through expert business consultancy and human capital development, and connect members to a dynamic network of stakeholders locally and abroad to drive growth and foster collaboration across sectors.

OUR POLICY AND ADVOCACY WORK

We shape policies and advocate for reforms that enable fair, sustainable, and competitive markets.

Through regular dialogues with government agencies and the release of timely position papers and whitebooks, we influence key policies and reforms that enhance the ease of doing business and drive regulatory improvements. The Chamber’s 24 sector committees, led by private sector leaders, provide a platform for members to collaborate, address industry-specific challenges, and ensure that the voice of the European-Philippine business community is heard in decisions shaping the economic landscape.

TESTIMONIALS

What our Members have to say.

Atty. Alberto Jesus T. Muyot

Save The Children Philippines Inc.

Save the Children Philippines is honored to partner with the ECCP, an organization that shares our vision of creating lasting change for children. We sincerely thank the ECCP for its vital role and contribution to our fundraising initiatives and emergency responses, as well as for allowing us to use its platforms to amplify our calls for support. As a business leader, the ECCP’s vast network and influence can help us reach many children who need help. With the continued support of the ECCP, we can do more to fulfill the rights of every child and make this world a better place for children.

Anders Dahl

SAAB

With the lockdown of Metro Manila in mid March, we at SAAB were faced with a situation where we had to close the office and key personnel had to leave Manila and the Philippines. With support from ECCP, I have now managed to address the situation with DTI and DFA. Hopefully I will receive a visa shortly that will allow me to return to Manila and support our local staff and customers in the Philippines despite that foreigners are not allowed to enter the country.

Mr. Angel Michael Evangelista

Bayer Philippines, Inc.

Bayer has been in the Philippines for over 60 years, and as one of the founding members of the ECCP, it has been a productive 45 years of shared growth for the company and the Philippines. Through the ECCP, we have been able to reach out to important public and private institutions, helping us live out our purpose of Science for a Better Life and bringing us closer towards the Bayer vision of Health for All, Hunger for None. To the ECCP and its members, let us celebrate 45 years of successful partnership and we look forward to seeing future decades of even greater success as we bring our companies and the Philippines to even greater heights.

Even during these times, we truly appreciate the ECCP for staying committed and dedicated as advocates of resilience.

Lars Wittig

Regus & Spaces by IWG

Having served as ECCP President and Vice President for more than 4 years, I have witnessed the tremendous growth of the Chamber for the last several years, as it waded through a great deal of uncertainty especially at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it continued to provide excellent service for its members. It then comes as no surprise that ECCP is often dubbed as the Chamber of Choice.
