Trust and reputation

Building industry trust and reputation underpins everything that we do, and we have continued to bring members together with policymakers and senior stakeholders across the year through our wide range of events, meetings and political engagement.

Our trust and reputation work

We strengthen understanding and awareness of the industry’s enabling role in society and the economy and the positive impacts it has on people’s daily lives right across the country.

“It has great convening power and is a voice heard by No 10 and relevant departments.”
