One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is Rotary's Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor when he took charge of a company facing bankruptcy. This 24-word philosophy for employees to follow in their business and professional lives is credited with helping to save the company. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, the Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages.
Every year, the Camarillo Rotary Club has a Four-Way Test Essay Contest for local students, asking the question "How can the Rotary Four-Way Test assist you and/or others to make the world a more peaceful place when confronting or dealing with the area of conflict?"

One of the key pillars of Rotary is Service Above Self, which can be carried out in a number of ways, including through one’s vocation. Recently, Camarillo Rotary presented its annual Randy Churchill Business Ethics Awards, recognizing and celebrating individuals and businesses in the Camarillo community who have exemplified service to others and have operated under the highest ethical standards.
