Hello from Sylvia


Dear Friends and Supporters,

I was honored to assume the position of Chair of the Board of Directors for WorldCC Foundation in September 2022, after having served on several boards of different institutions around the world, all related to public health issues. This time, it was a different and unique opportunity – not just about access to health but about an organization aiming to transform the entire system by modifying the way people interact with one of the oldest and most well-known human interaction: commercial contracting. 

We exist because we believe that collaborative, equitable, and inclusive trust through mutual shared values is the essence of the integral contracting process. Our vision is simple: to make the world a better place, one contract at a time. By doing so, all trading relationships will deliver social benefits, and their practice will be transparent, accessible, and inclusive for all, leading to better business and, most importantly, better societies. 

Together, we can create a better world of trade.
