A year of impact: how the CBI and its members have driven real change in 2020.
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the CBI has worked tirelessly with government to help protect lives and livelihoods. With your support, we’ve driven policy changes that are designed and implemented with businesses in mind.
But we know that the support your organisation needs goes beyond the here and now. Already this year, driven by our members’ ambitions, we’ve seen unprecedented green investment to make rapid progress towards net-zero emissions; and bold plans to transform skills and training - an important step forward that can help solve the most urgent challenges facing our generation.

Year of Impact
As we head into 2021, we will continue to ensure the voice of business is heard, especially as we navigate the end of the UK’s transition period – with firms facing further challenge and change. Alongside challenges, 2021 provides the opportunity for the UK and UK business to shape our long-term competitiveness, as we host COP26 and the G7.
“I am proud of the role the CBI has played, working with government to plan a way through these dark days. In the midst of this unprecedented crisis the CBI has launched important long-term initiatives including the HEAT commission to help us get to net zero by 2050, and Change the Race Ratio championing diversity and inclusion in business.— Lord Karan Bilimoria, CBE, DL, CBI President
“I have heard time and time again your commitment to build back better. As the UK looks to the immediate term challenges of COVID-19 and securing a Brexit trade deal, the CBI will continue to be with you every step of the way.”
Be part of an unrivalled business community
It’s because of our members that when we talk, government listens. As a not-for-profit organisation, we exist to support and champion firms like yours, and to be a voice for the business community, but we can only continue to do that with your support. We are 100% funded by membership fees and the sale of our products and services; we receive no government funding. We rely on members to ensure that we can deliver for business. As the UK starts to rebuild, business will undoubtedly face tough times ahead. The CBI will continue to be with you every step of the way. By working in partnership with government, we can deliver a fairer, greener, and more competitive economy.
