The Four-Way Test, Business Ethics

As a Rotarian engaged in a business or profession, I am expected to:

1. Consider my vocation to be another opportunity to serve;
2. 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 standard of my community;
3. Do all in my power to dignify my vocation and to promote the highest ethical standards in my chosen vocation;
4. Be fair to my employer, employees, associates, competitors, customers, the public, and all those with whom I have a business or professional relationship;
5. Recognize the honor and respect due to all occupations which are useful to society;
6. 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;
7. Adhere to honesty in my advertising and in all representations to the public concerning my business or profession;
8. Neither seek from nor grant to a fellow Rotarian a privilege of advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship.

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

First...
    Is it the TRUTH?
Second...
    Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Third...
    Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Fourth...
    Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
