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 my
fellow men, 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 to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state
and my community, and to give to them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed.
To give them freely of my time, labour and means.
To aid my fellow men by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid
to the week, and my substance to the needy.
To be careful with my criticisms and liberal with my praise; to build
up and not destroy.
