The Brazil-U.S. Business Council is a private sector organization focused on promoting the free flow of trade and investment between the United States and Brazil. Established in 1976, the Brazil-U.S. Business Council was created to foster understanding and advance business priorities between the two countries. 
 
BUSBC membership offers high-level services, including exclusive access to meetings and events, members-only executive business intelligence services, news alerts emails, and council advocacy for member issues and priorities.

The U.S. Section of the BUSBC represents major U.S. companies invested in Brazil. It operates under the administrative aegis of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, maintaining independent policy formulation and membership. 

The Brazil Section of the BUSBC is managed by the Brazilian National Confederation of Industry (CNI), composed of the 27 Brazilian state-level federations of industry.

Working in conjunction with the American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil (AmCham Brazil), this powerful structure enables the council to forge consensus between the two private sectors and communicate to both governments with a unique bilateral voice.

The BUSBC's Program of Work identifies the key policy areas that the Council addresses throughout the year and highlights the initiatives that the council plans to pursue. 

The unifying mission of the BUSBC is to protect, maintain, and advance trade and investment between the United States and Brazil through free trade, free market, and free enterprise. 

To achieve this mission, the BUSBC'S objectives are:

  • To serve as an advocate in the United States and Brazil for council members' interests in advancing trade and investment;
     
  • To promote substantive interaction between council members and leading policymakers in Brazil and the United States;
     
  • To deliver timely information to members and to facilitate member input into policy formulation and program development; and
     
  • To advance the policy priorities of BUSBC member companies through member-driven task forces andjoint programs with other government and private sector stakeholders.
