Our clients come to us for insights on how global institutions are addressing trade and development issues, health matters, labour issues, the environment, governance, and finance and economics. We assist with our knowledge and understanding of how policies are made and implemented in international regulatory matters, standards, conventions, rules, laws and policies, drawing on our extensive, cross-cutting and multi-sectoral network.

Based in Geneva, Switzerland we enjoy a vantage point with a clear view of the many international organizations that are headquartered or liaise here, the growing number of major multinational enterprises that have regional headquarters here, and the diplomatic missions that monitor and contribute to the countless meetings and debates that take place here.

We specialize in helping our clients with multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral engagement, encouraging discourse from many perspectives, bringing contrasting ideas together for the benefit of improved understanding and the constructive achievement of objectives.

Our flagship service, the Council for Multilateral Business Diplomacy, provides multinational enterprises with a neutral, multi-stakeholder setting to express views on timely issues and policies affecting and affected by businesses with a global reach.

In addition, we serve as the secretariat for the Global Social Observatory. The GSO is an organization established in 2004 to facilitate dialogue and disseminate information on social issues in order to encourage stakeholders to engage in a broadened search for solutions and policy coherence. This service is based on a participatory process that brings all interested parties together in a neutral space to identify solutions and policies that are coherent. These solutions can then contribute to policy-making at the governmental and intergovernmental levels.
