International levels.

LIONS CLUBS OBJECTS
To Create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples
of the world.
To promote the principles of good government and good
citizenship.
To take an active interest in the civic, cultural, and social and
moral welfare of the community.
To unite the Clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship
and mutual understanding.
To provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of
public interest, provided, however, that partisan politics and
sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members.
To encourage service minded men to serve their community
without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency
and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry,
professions, public works and private endeavors.

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 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 selfrespect 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 doubt 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 to
another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service
in the spirit in which it is given.

LIONS CODE OF ETHICS
continued
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,
labour, 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.
