Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses
and Professions
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.
