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.
THE 4-WAY TEST
From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned
with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives.
One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements of
business ethics is The 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by
Rotarian Herbert Taylor (who later served as RI president) when
he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy.
This 24-word code of ethics for employees to follow in their business
and professional lives became the guide for sales, production,
advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and
the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy.
Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated
into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands
of ways. It asks the following four questions.
Of the things we think,
say or do:
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
