We are the voice of business
Rain Newton-Smith, Chief Executive, CBI
“These are serious times. You only have to turn on the TV to see how fast the world around us is changing. Meanwhile here in the UK, economic pressures are mounting and uncertainty is rising. Only business can deliver the growth we need to restore our fortunes and improve the lives of our people.
"But pro-business policies don’t happen by accident. They happen through business coming together to make its collective voice heard. That’s our job at the CBI. But to do it, we need your involvement and support: to drive action and create the environment where your business can thrive."
Con·fed·er·ation
As a confederation, we bring together businesses, trade associations, and universities with a shared goal of creating sustainable growth – for business and the economy.
Local influence. Global reach.
Across the UK, our relationships with devolved governments, Mayors and councils ensure your priorities shape regional decision-making. Internationally, we represent UK business at the OECD, EU, G7 and G20 – securing access, influence and advantage no other organisation can match.
Our purpose
To be the collective voice of business, achieving sustainable growth.
Our mission
To be the catalyst between industry and government, driving positive change. To speak for businesses of all sizes and sectors across the whole economy, in every UK region and nation, ensuring sustainable growth for the benefit of society.
Our values
Our four values of Courage, Brilliance, Integrity, and Respect are our core beliefs – the principles on which we base our interactions with colleagues, customers, and stakeholders.
