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. Rotarian
Herbert J. Taylor, who later served as RI president, created the
Test in 1932 when he was asked to take charge of a company that was

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:
