Lions
Code of Ethics
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 doubts
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 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, as to give them my
unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my
time, labor 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.
