CAPRiM (Corporate Asset Protection and Risk Management) was an organisation in the United Kingdom that provided an intelligence service on what it felt were groups that were against the interest of corporations.
CAPRiM was established in May 1993 as a successor to the Economic League, which had held the construction industry's blacklist until it was wound up in 1993 after a parliamentary inquiry and bad press. It provided continued employment for two former League directors, Jack Winder and Stan Hardy.[1] The construction company Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd invested £10,000 in founding CAPRiM on the understanding that it would not interfere with The Consulting Association.[2][3]
