Business Roundtable

The Business Roundtable (BRT) is a nonprofit lobbyist association^[1] based in Washington, D.C. whose members are chief executive officers of major United States companies. Unlike the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, whose members are entire businesses, BRT members are exclusively CEOs. The BRT lobbies for public policy that is favorable to business interests, such as lowering corporate taxes in the United States and internationally,^[2] as well as international trade policy, like NAFTA.

In 2019, BRT redefined its definition of the purpose of a corporation as participating in stakeholder capitalism, putting the interests of employees, customers, suppliers and communities on par with shareholders. BRT board members include, in 2024, chair Chuck Robbins of Cisco; CEO, former White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, Mary Barra of General Motors, Tim Cook of Apple, and Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}
