Core Values
AmCham provides a forum where U.S., international and Albanian businesses can network, look for business partners, and acquire vital information on specific business opportunities. It also provides an opportunity for international visitors who want to address Albanian business and political leaders. Through AmCham, member businesses are empowered to come together and work as a group to lobby leading politicians and government officials, and to influence the development of business-friendly policies, legislation and institutions.
AmCham considers the establishment of high standards of business conduct and integrity, and adherence to principles of good corporate citizenship to be one of its most significant goals. AmCham has taken an active and leading role in promoting business standards and principles, first, by adopting a code of business practices; second, by encouraging AmCham members to adopt and enforce the code of business practices.
AmCham Albania is part of the worldwide network of American Chambers of Commerce Abroad and since June 2003 is accredited with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington. In Albania, AmCham is member of the National Economic Council and Tax Council.
