PURGANAN, Maria Michaella
As a business student in the Lasallian community, it is essential to commit and adhere to
the RVRCOB Code of Ethics and the Shared Covenant for Prosperity. We must constantly
remind ourselves of our goals, duties, and obligations to society, especially to our co-workers,
customers, the underprivileged, and mother nature.
After reading the RVRCOB Code of Ethics, I realized that as we become business
leaders, we are set to commit to our purpose of becoming good role models to everyone around
us. Furthermore, once we are in a team, we will be accountable for ourselves and the people
around our working environment. Thus, with the code of ethics, we must develop the right
mindset to make sound and timely decisions that will benefit the community.
On the other hand, the Shared Covenant for Prosperity teaches us to become more fair,
selfless, and open-minded, especially during these trying times. The pandemic has consistently
challenged several individuals emotionally, physically, and financially. While these events keep
happening, we must remember that we are all just thriving and surviving human beings. With
this, it does not hurt to be more considerate and compassionate towards the individuals we
encounter (Drilon, 2020).
In conclusion, pledging and committing is more than just reading these oaths; I will
remember and go back to these to remind myself of my purpose as a business student and
recognize my role in society (Dlscc - Code of Ethics, n.d.).
