The European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK) is the pre-eminent association of European companies conducting business in or related to Korea. Representing the common voice of the European business community in Korea, the ECCK aims to function as the platform for information exchange, effective communication channel to the Korean authorities and convenor of networking opportunities for European businesses. The ECCK is a non-profit and non-political organisation.
The ECCK was officially founded on 3 December 2012, upon the approval of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy as of 2013). With its clear legal status defined under Korea’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry Act of 2008, the ECCK has focused on transparency and co-operation as its fundamental values.
The ECCK maintains its open door policy of actively listening to members’ opinions and suggestions in developing its programmes and activities. The ECCK seeks for collaboration with national chambers of commerce and European business associations to identify issues of common concern and effectively represent the interests of the European business community.
The ECCK is a strong believer in mutual prosperity. The ECCK hopes to contribute to fostering an optimal business climate for both European and local Korean companies. Moreover, as a good corporate citizen, the ECCK is determined to develop and carry out activities for the benefit of the Korean society.
The organisation is governed by the Board of Directors, entrusted with members’ mandate. The Advisory Board, comprised of national chambers and embassies, provides guidance and advice in regard to direction and activities. The Secretariat manages daily operation and activities of the Chamber.
