Making a difference means taking a stand. We use the power of a united voice; 190,000 businesses – of every size, sector and from every region. A loud, influential voice, campaigning for real changes to the policies that matter most to business. When we talk, people listen and act.
We bring business and government together. So both have even greater impact. We engage in hundreds of meetings with political stakeholders every year, sharing the real-world business impact of policy decisions with those that make them. All with the view to protect our economy and grow prosperity.
We bring together business leaders hungry for change, enabling them to think big, share best practice and challenge the status quo. Because when we borrow brilliance, and benefit from the power of collective insight, the outcomes are better and reach further than could ever be possible alone.
We empower business with intelligence to make informed decisions and to lay the foundations for success. Insight to benchmark progress, to grow, or to plant firm foundations in turbulent times. Supporting businesses to scan the horizon and anticipate risks, we build prosperity for all.
Prosperity for all begins with fixing the problems that prevent business from making a difference. We listen to business, understand the issues that impact them the most and we campaign for change. These are the 'prosperity pillars' - where we all need to see change delivered.
