Our flagship product helps business succeed. By driving change. Enabling effective planning. Providing inspiration & intelligence for growth.
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.
People sit at the heart of economic prosperity. With good education and the right skills, everyone can succeed. For UK business to thrive, it needs a trained and diverse workforce, supported by the right policy environment and business practice.
Effective infrastructure keeps the economy moving. Connectivity helps businesses prosper and cutting emissions is vital to prevent catastrophic global impacts. The CBI develops solutions that deliver the benefits of a connected, green economy.
The innovation of new products, processes and technologies drives business productivity and growth. The CBI helps create the conditions that enable businesses to devise new ideas and invest in research and development.
Globally competitive tax and regulation is paramount to businesses in the UK. When it comes to issues such as the corporate tax rate and capital investment, stability, simplicity and certainty in policy matters.
With goods and services traded globally, easy access to international markets is vital to UK prosperity. As the government recasts trading relationships post-Brexit, now is the time for business to ensure its voice is heard on international issues.
Ensuring the benefits of growth are felt in every region across the UK is essential to creating a more prosperous society. We are working to close the productivity gap and ensure the business voice is represented across all regions.
The UK-EU relationship significantly affects the way companies run. To invest confidently and create prosperity, business needs a deal that ensures Britain remains open to the world, delivers frictionless trade and gives firms access to great talent.
Companies hire and train people in skills that transform careers. Improving the circumstances for individuals, families and communities across the UK.
It’s business that takes a scientific breakthrough and turns it into a product that benefits us all. It’s business that scales meaningful inventions so they can be felt around the world. Business takes risks, because the bigger picture is so worthwhile.
It invests in infrastructure – digital, road and rail. It builds the supply chains that carry medicine from the lab in Slough to the village in the Outer Hebrides. It creates the infrastructure that delivers clean water to millions and reunites families across continents.
...paying for the vital services that people use every day. From bin collections and GP appointments, to new classrooms and fixing potholes.
