Declarations
in Business & 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. A Rotarian engaged in a business or profession is expected to—

• Consider his or her vocation to be another opportunity to serve

• Be faithful to the letter and to the spirit of the ethical codes of the vocation, to the laws of the country, and to the moral standards of the community

• Do everything possible to dignify the vocation and to promote the highest ethical standards

• Be fair to employers, employees, associates, competitors, customers, the public, and all those with whom he or she has a business or professional relationship

• Recognize the honor and respect due to all occupations which are useful to society

• Offer 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 the community

• Adhere to honesty in advertising and in all representations to the public concerning 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.
