Rotary’s Code of Ethics The Four-Way Test • Is it the Truth? • Is it Fair to all concerned? • Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships? • Will it be Beneficial to all concerned? • -Herbert J. Taylor • 1932
Object of Rotary (RIC Kansas City - 1918) To encourage and foster: High ethical standards in business and professions. The ideal of SERVICE as the basis of all worthy enterprise. The active interest in every Rotarian in the civic, commercial, social and moral welfare in the community. The development of a broad acquaintance as an opportunity for service as well as an aid to success. The interchange of ideas and of business methods as a means of increasing the efficiency and usefulness of Rotarians. The recognition of the worthiness of all legitimate occupations and the dignifying of the occupation of each Rotarian as affording him an opportunity to serve society.
Rotary is a Philosophy of Service Rotary is a philosophy of life. This philosophy is the philosophy of service – “Service above Self” is a commitment to a call. We have a responsibility to other human beings, and Rotarians are beacons of hope and agents of change.
