Membership requires a commitment to participate in the Business Network in good faith and implies a commitment to supporting the Vision and Mission of the Business Network, decidedly considering the invitations to take action. There are no ‘formal’ requirements or monetary obligations imposed on members of the Business Network.

Membership and Observer status of the Business Network do not represent automatic endorsement of the Business Network’s actions. Some of the members signalled their early commitment to this agenda through this public statement in support of civic freedoms, human rights defenders and the rule of law.
