treat others fairly

Act with equity

To treat others fairly is to act with impartiality and equity toward people, giving them what they deserve without favoritism or prejudice.

The phrase often appears in ethical guidelines, workplace policies, and parenting advice: We teach our children to treat others fairly.

It implies consistent standards applied across the board, regardless of personal feelings or relationships.
