Police are now investigating alleged sexual misconduct at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)
"Many of the allegations against me have been distorted, but I recognise that I unintentionally made a number of colleagues feel uncomfortable and I am truly sorry about that."
"It is already clear to all of us that there have been serious failings in how we have acted as an organisation. We must do better, and we must be better," a CBI statement read. The allegations made against those working at the CBI - which was founded by royal charter in 1965 - were described as"devastating" in the statement."The board wishes to make clear [Mr Danker] is not the subject of any of the more recent allegations in The Guardian but has determined that his own conduct fell short of that expected of the director-general," the statement continued.
Government officials also pulled out of meetings with the group and the big four accountancy firm EY ended the secondment of one of its employees to the organisation.
