Like you said, everyone, by design (hah, pun intended), has their own set of morals; it's the ethics that tend to be a little harder to go by, since it's all down to money. It basically costs (a lot) more to lead a business—be it in the field of Design of potato farming—ethically. I do believe that in the long run, having ethics by your side helps you sleep better, if nothing else. Too bad being ethical has become a leap of faith instead of being just another attribute of one's business.
