The CBI's Misconduct Scandal: Lessons Learned from Tony Danker's Dismissal.

The former director general of the CBI, Tony Danker, was not shown the report that led to his dismissal following allegations of workplace misconduct. A major FTSE 100 company has suspended all engagement with the CBI following separate allegations of serious sexual misconduct at the group. Law firm Fox Williams is investigating sexual misconduct claims against CBI employees, including an allegation of rape at a summer boat party in 2019. Many companies who are members of the CBI have expressed deep concerns over the allegations and are reviewing their membership of the business lobby group, pending the outcome of the investigations. The government has said it will extend the pause it has placed on engagement with the CBI until Fox Williams' investigation has concluded.
