Each branch reports to the Home Office in Waterdeep, located at The Spectral Elf on Trollskull Alley. The Shareholders are the governing body of The E.W.T.C. and vote on company decisions, company policy and the establishing of new Branches.

The East Waterdeep Trading Company is ultimately meritocratic. Each member, from The Shareholders to the lowest grunt are expected to earn their position every day. Nobody is judged on their heritage, faith, background or world view so long as they pull their weight.
Public Agenda
The East Waterdeep Trading Company's public agenda could best be described as militaristic capitalism. The E.W.T.C. seeks out sources of revenue from all manner of sources, from trading goods and products, investing in local economies, philanthropic ventures and mercenary work, the diversity and flexibility of The E.W.T.C. means they are capable of avoiding competition that they aren't able to out spend or out gun.
