LIONS CODE OF
ETHICS
TO SHOW
my
faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application
to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of
service.
TO SEEK
success and to
demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to
accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect
lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable
acts on my part.
TO REMEMBER
that in
building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's;
to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to
myself.
WHENEVER
a doubt arises
as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others,
to resolve such doubt against myself.
TO HOLD
friendship as
an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on
account of the service performed by one to another, but that true
friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in
which it is given.
ALWAYS
bear in mind my
obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, my community, and
to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To give
them freely of my time, labour and means.
TO AID
others by
giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my
substance to the needy.
TO BE CAREFUL
with my
criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not
destroy.
