New Global Government Affairs Website Launch

May 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Christian D. de Fouloy, a veteran French-American expert in government relations, Founder and Chairman of Brussels-based Association of Accredited Lobbyists to the European Union (AALEP) and John A. Foreman, Founder of Influence Brands, which has created and developed a portfolio of Internet based properties for the U.S. Lobbying / Government Relations industry have combined their expertise and talents to launch a new and unique website called GlobalGovAffairs.com (http://GlobalGovAffairs.com) that serves as a centralized Global Best Practice Platform for Policy Results.

GlobalGovAffairs.com's target members are the Global 500 and other leading multi-national companies who understand that in a changing global environment, influencing what governments the world over think about their business is a vital element for achieving desired policy outcomes that are aligned with business objectives.  Through GlobalGovAffairs.com, companies are able to promote their government affairs practice in an effort to influence the actions of the institutions of government, both domestically and internationally, in terms of legislation, regulatory and policy decisions. The high-level audience for this sort of material typically must spend considerable time searching the Internet to find suitable information.  Membership provides an effective, convenient and visible channel for companies to clarify their policies covering governmental engagement, explain the issues and challenges they are confronted with, list their memberships in associations and much more. Beside being able to showcase their government affairs practices, member companies can access their account area to customize it, view and manage their information, include details of their government affairs team, add their logo, upload documents and submit articles, link to their website, add corporate video, network with the world’s leading business and policy experts, exchange experience through peer to peer, share industry specific and cross country knowledge sharing and find new opportunities across industries and regions.

As multinational organizations expand their operations to markets outside their home markets, they need to build a strong government affairs capability as part of their market entry or expansion. Companies wherever they operate are called upon to raise their own and host government’s awareness of their capabilities, priorities and concerns and they are also encouraged to cooperate with governments in the development and implementation of fair and transparent policies and laws. GlobalGovAffairs.com is an online toolbox companies can use to engage with governments globally through constructive dialogue, the promotion of innovative policy ideas, the formation of novel public-private collaborative arrangements and investments in solutions that can help address the fundamental challenges that today confront societies.
