The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is a British business interest group, which says it represents 190,000 businesses.[1] The CBI has been described by the Financial Times as "Britain's biggest business lobby group".[2] Incorporated by royal charter,[3] its mission is to promote the conditions in which businesses of all sizes and sectors in the UK can compete and prosper for the benefit of all. In 2023, the association was shaken by numerous accusations of sexual misconduct in the organisation.
