Ethical behavior builds trust which, in turn, sets a foundation for communication, commitment, loyalty, and cooperation.

Cooperative leaders are presented with an analytical framework for determining the ethicality of their cooperative business decisions, which should help them to avoid potentially unethical and embarrassing positions and decisions. Ethical versus moral versus legal behaviors are discussed. Reasons why ethical behavior builds successful cooperatives are identified.
