The Institute was launched in 2013 to operate under the Addis Abeba Chamber of Commerce & Sectoral Associations. The Institute, which so far has enlisted 148 public and private businesses as members, seeks to regulate the conduct of businesses toward the evolution of a dynamic, ethical and responsible business community.
