The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Chairmen’s Committee took in March 2016 the final step in endorsing the business group’s mandate to make the economic case for the United Kingdom to remain in the EU. It came after the CBI reaffirmed its member mandate following a rigorous governance process through the organisation’s 'business parliament' and publication of a new member survey. A clear majority of CBI member companies – which together employ nearly 7 million people, about one third of private sector employees – believed that it would be in the best interests of their business and the wider UK economy to remain inside the EU. This is according to an independent survey carried out by polling company ComReS.
