Ethics

25
Lions Clubs International Code of
Ethics

To show my faith in the worthiness of my
vocation by industrious application to the end so
that I may merit a reputation for quality of
service
To be proud of what you do and do it to the
best of your ability
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 accept fair payment for a fair days work, but
do not take advantage of competitors by
underhanded means

26
Lions Clubs International Code of
Ethics

To remember that in building up my own business
it is not necessary to tear down anothers to be
loyal to my clients or customers and to be true
to myself
It is not necessary to destroy someone elses
business whilst establishing your own. Dont rip
off your clients
Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or
ethics of my position or action towards others,
to resolve such doubts against myself
If there is a difference of opinion on actions
that you have taken, then listen to the opinion
of others

27
Lions Clubs International Code of
Ethics

To hold friendship as an end and not as 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
Friendship is to be treasured, it cannot be
bought it must be
earned
Always to bear in mind my obligations as a
citizen to my nation, my state and my community,
and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word,
act and deed. To give them freely of my time,
labor and means
Service to your community is the rent you pay for
the space you occupy on this earth

28

Ethics

To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in
distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to
the needy
Provide assistance to those in need by whatever
means is considered necessary
To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with
my praise, to build up and not destroy
Provide praise not criticism, build on what you
have achieved do not destroy it
