OUR ECONOMIC-POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT
We represent the interests of our members towards public authorities, political bodies and the community, and address economic policy issues.
We are a driving force for business and are active in the following areas:
- Voting recommendations for upcoming referenda and people’s initiatives

- Preparation of position papers and statements relating to economic issues
- Participation in consultation procedures
- Discussions with public authorities, political bodies and interest groups

- Presentations and panel discussions on economic policy issues
In economic issues being voted on at the cantonal and federal levels, we play a key role in local campaigning activities. We coordinate voting campaigns and take responsibility for forming committees, conducting PR campaigns, lobbying, fundraising and other important tasks.
To attract wider attention in the economic policy process, we work together with other associations in the canton of Zug and elsewhere.
