Rapid globalization has produced stresses for U.S. companies and their employees, but has also created opportunities. Strong domestic intellectual property, innovation, and productivity are all a result of open markets around the world. We will continue to advocate for free trade and tax policies that expand opportunities for U.S. companies. At the same time, humane measures to improve workplace security and provide retraining and other assistance to American workers harmed by the effects of the international economy are considered crucial by Business Roundtable members.

The Initiative is overseen by Brigitte Schmidt Gwyn, senior director of public policy for Business Roundtable.
