| The Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions was
adopted by the Rotary International Council on Legislation in 1989 to
provide more specific guidelines for the high ethical standards called
for in the Object of Rotary:
As a Rotarian engaged
in a business or profession,
I am expected
to:
Consider my vocation to be another
opportunity to serve;
Be faithful to the letter and
to the spirit of the ethical codes of my vocation, to the laws of my
country, and to the moral standards of my community;
Do all in my power to dignify
my vocation and to promote the highest ethical standards in my chosen
vocation;
Be fair to my employer, employees,
associates, competitors, customers, the public and all those with whom
I have a business or professional relationship;
Recognize the honor and respect
due to all occupations which are useful to society;
Offer my vocational talents:
to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the
special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community;
Adhere to honesty in my advertising
and in all representations to the public concerning my business or profession;
Neither seek from nor grant
to a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others
in a business or professional relationship.
