Allegations by several women have laid bare a toxic culture of sexual misconduct by male workers at the prominent UK lobby, Confederation of British Industry

The UK government said earlier this month it would pause all engagement with CBI after the initial reports of misconduct.

A separate incident, said to have occurred in 2018, alleged that a woman based at the organisation's London office was stalked by a male colleague. While Danker was not the subject of the allegations, the CBI said "his own conduct fell short of that expected"."The latest allegations put to us by The Guardian are abhorrent and our hearts go out to any women who have been victims of the behaviour described," CBI president Brian McBride said on Friday.

The CBI represents about 190,000 businesses, which together employ almost seven million people, and counts blue chip UK firms among its members.
