The UK's biggest business lobby group is currently fighting for survival following a succession of damaging misconduct allegations, including two separate rape claims.Following a review by Fox Williams, a law firm, the CBI the admitted that it "failed to filter out culturally toxic people during the hiring process".
"This is about men behaving badly towards women," she told the newspaper. "I do not accept this connection between the culture of the organisation that I created and the actions of an individual who committed [an alleged] crime." Mr Allan, who was president of the CBI between 2018 and 2020, commented on a female staff member's clothing and said it suited her figure.
"The person concerned agreed the matter was closed and no further action was taken," said a spokesman for Mr Allan. He added: "There is no evidence of any wrongdoing at that time or at any stage of my chairmanship at Tesco and I remain determined to prove my innocence."
