The Confederation of British Industry, which claims to represent 190,000 businesses including many of Britain's biggest companies, is facing a battle for survival as a growing number of firms cut ties.
The CBI said it would put forward reform plans to its members at the meeting in June.
Earlier on Friday, the CBI said an urgent root-and-branch review of its culture was proceeding and it would respond to an investigation it had commissioned by law firm Fox Williams early next week. Last week, the City of London Police opened an investigation into what the CBI called “a serious criminal offense” after thesaid a female member of staff claimed she was raped by a manager at an office party on a boat in 2019.on Friday also reported the case of a woman working for the CBI who was stalked by a colleague in 2018 and discouraged from reporting him to police.
“We are deeply sorry and express our profound regret to the women who have endured these horrific experiences,” it added.“The way the situation has been handled is not representative of business in Britain. We have therefore informed the CBI that we are ending our membership,” a spokesperson for the telecoms operator said.
