Join TRACIT

TRACIT is a private sector initiative to mitigate the economic and social damages of illicit trade by strengthening government enforcement mechanisms and integrating supply chain controls across industry sectors most impacted by illicit trade.​ TRACIT is organized as a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization under US tax code 501(c)(6).

​Membership is open to corporations and select trade associations committed to mitigating the economic and social impacts of illicit trade. TRACIT members include businesses and select trade organizations confronting illicit trade, primarily from the following sectors: agri-foods, alcohol, fisheries, forestry, pesticides, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, precious metals and gemstones, retail, tobacco, wildlife and all forms of products vulnerable to trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy.

Why join?

  • Shaping a business-driven agenda. Governments create the policy frameworks, but it is business that drives the economy. Through TRACIT, members can ensure that policymakers understand business priorities and utilize business know-how.
  • More effective company enforcement efforts. By promoting stronger governance regimes, TRACIT members can leverage their own enforcement and litigation efforts, making these radically more effective.
  • Collective messaging. TRACIT’s cross sector membership enables a comprehensive and compelling case to governments that the risks and damages of illicit trade are not limited to one product, one sector or a single company.
  • Respected voice of business. TRACIT’s diverse corporate membership is the respected voice that business needs to convey priorities to governments and drive action with global governance bodies.
  • Amplify commitments to UN Sustainable Development Goals. In many sectors, illicit trade undermines achievement of specific SDGs. Whether that means working against illegal fishing to prevent depletion of local food supply (SDG2); or working against illicit pharmaceuticals to ensure consumer health and safety (SDG3); or guarding the supply chain from human trafficking (SDG8), business is a critical partner in the process.
  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a hallmark of TRACIT members. Defending against illicit trade requires a commitment to effective CSR. Measures applied to stopping illicit trade help companies create social, economic, and environmental value for their stakeholders; and companies with high CSR and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) ratings generally have lower costs of debt and equity, and outperform the market. Against this backdrop, doing nothing is a costly option.
  • Aggregated resources and expertise. TRACIT provides a vehicle to pool funding and expertise to create a greater critical mass of resources than any single company or sector could do alone. TRACIT’s expert Secretariat provides external support to assist members with corporate initiatives and interaction with key IGOs and government agencies.
  • Contribute to sector workstreams in the areas of Agri-food, Alcohol, Counterfeiting & Piracy, Fisheries, Forestry, Pesticides, Petroleum, Pharmaceuticals, Precious metals & Gems, Tobacco, Trafficking in persons, and Wildlife.
  • Contribute to cross-cutting workstreams to reduce vulnerabilities of supply chains exploited by all forms of illicit trade (e.g., transportation channels, digital channels, Free Trade Zones, financial networks and corruption).
