The Business Roundtable is an association of chief executive officers (CEOs) from leading U.S. companies. Founded in 1972, it aims to promote a thriving U.S. economy and a flourishing society by advocating for policies that support business growth and job creation. The organization focuses on various issues, including economic policy, trade, and corporate governance. In 2019, the Business Roundtable updated its Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, emphasizing a commitment to all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and communities, rather than solely focusing on shareholder profit. This shift reflects a broader trend in corporate responsibility and sustainability.
