LCCI is steadfast in its support of businesses and, to address the challenges that crime poses, we have formed a Business Crime Committee and launched this dedicated hub, within which you will find articles and resources to help you prevent, mitigate, respond to, and report crime, in addition to details of relevant LCCI events and updates on the committee work programme.
The primary objective of the Business Crime Committee is to help London’s business community become more resilient to crime, while ensuring that private and public sector stakeholders take action to tackle business crime across the capital. We regularly run events with industry experts to keep our members up to date with the latest measures to protect their business from attacks. Events include discussions, briefings, and private lunches.
