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?"
