The CBI’s purpose is to help businesses create a more prosperous society. We do this by using evidence and insight from firms like yours across the country to inform what works and makes a difference to you. This is our mandate to drive change. We bring together the views of businesses of all sizes, in all sectors, from all regions and nations of the UK to shape policy and the regulatory environment.
Our focus is on those issues that the CBI and our members believe are critical to creating a prosperous economy and society. They include:
- Access to the people and skills that business needs to succeed
- The infrastructure to keep the economy moving in a sustainable way
- The innovation behind new products, services and technologies
- A tax and regulatory environment that enable business to invest with confidence
- International trade and easy access to global markets.
