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 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 service performed by one to another; but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit it is given.

ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my country and my community and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed.  To give them freely of my time, labour and means.
