To promote the interests of the economy within Westphalia, to overcome barriers between political parties, professional organisations and the economy and to give Westphalia's interests a voice in the competition between European regions - these are three of the WWL's most important goals.

As a non-partisan organisation, the WWL focuses on socio-political and economically relevant issues and is committed to preserving the free economic order and the social market economy.
