The Power of Business Ethics

Here's a powerful book that discusses the 150-year history of cooperative credit and shows how our values are prized in today's economic environment.

This book includes a unique perspective that shows why credit unions are a special breed, and provides ethical standards for employers, employees and members. It provides tools and suggestions for building consensus on ethics within the credit union and for demonstrating ethics and values to members and the public. The topics covered are:

• Credit Unions: A Special Breed
• Ethical Standards for Employers
• Ethical Standards for Employees
• Ethics and the Member
• Ethics and the Community
• Communicating Ethical Standards

"From the introduction to the credit union movement, to the case studies throughout the book, it is an easy book to read and very difficult to put down.

I would like to see this book become required material for all our employees and would highly recommend it to anyone who faces ethical dilemmas at work or wrestles with making principled decisions in a world that is seldom black and white."
