As a professional chamber and public institution encompassing all sectors of business, the purpose and role of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce is to defend the interests of its member companies. The member companies of the Chamber of Commerce represent a wide variety of sectors and may in some cases pursue divergent sectoral interests. In a spirit of fairness to all its members, the Chamber of Commerce therefore considers its primary mission as one of articulating, representing and defending the interests of all its members. Sectoral interests can also be defended, on condition that they do not conflict with the interests of the other member companies of the Chamber of Commerce. Today, the Chamber of Commerce has more than 90,000 affiliated members, accounting for 75% of the total salaried employment and representing 80% of the GDP. As membership dues from members constitute the principal financial resource of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber also has financial autonomy.
