The Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
• FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
• SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
• THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
• FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and 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:
As a Rotarian engaged in a business or profession, I am expected to:
• Consider my vocation to be another opportunity to serve;
• 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
standards of my community;
• Do all in my power to dignify my vocation and to
promote the highest ethical standards in my chosen vocation;
• Be fair to my employer, employees, associates,
competitors, customers, the public, and all those with whom
I have a business or professional relationship;
• Recognize the honor and respect due to all
occupations which are useful to society;
• 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;
• Adhere to honesty in my advertising and in all
representations to the public concerning my 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.
