MOST British citizens want policy to promote ethical practices among big businesses to be prioritised by the next government. They also say the next government should penalise large companies that act unfairly toward small businesses, says the Forum of Private Business.
It says a ComRes poll that it commissioned showed that 78% of adults in Britain agree that big businesses are more likely to prioritise profits over high ethical standards, and 74% of adults say most big businesses have no concern for small business owners in the UK. Some 81% agree that small businesses need more help to get their voices heard in parliament.
