the fact that there are situations where professionals must put the interest of society ahead of the interest of their clients or their own well-being.

Explanation:

Concern for public interest is a commitment to rights, finances, and health of the public at large.

So as a professional when a business undertaking is affecting public interest in a negative way, public interest should be considered before clients interest.

For example if a building is to be constructed and it will affect a major road, the professional should find a way to remove the negative impact on the public.
