Gen Z question the integrity of business leaders
Gen Z are not convinced top business leaders are honest, though they believe business is generally a force for good.
Those aged between 18 and 25 have questioned the motives of the business world, with fewer than four in 10 believing business leaders have integrity and do what they say.
Similarly, Gen Z was sceptical about businesses’ contribution to net zero, with just a quarter (26%) believing companies are contributing towards the fight against climate change, according to new research from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).
The bodies quizzed 310 individuals studying finance or accountancy in the UK, and found six in 10 (60%) 18 to 25-year-olds thought business had a positive impact on the wider society, despite their scepticism of honesty in the top ranks.
