Our action framework
Jotun’s approach to sustainability is divided into three dimensions ESG.
The focus on environmental, social and governance issues reflects our sustainability priorities.
Social
We embrace responsibility for our employees and the societies where we operate. With a strong corporate culture and sound values, we create a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace where people can grow. In addition, Jotun strives to make a positive impact through community initiatives and collaboration.
Governance
Our governance framework defines how Jotun is directed, managed and controlled to ensure sound decision-making and responsible operations. From the top and down to every employee, we are guided by principles of openness, transparency and accountability.
Contributing to a more sustainable future
Jotun supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We recognise that our business activities have both positive and negative impacts. Jotun wants to be transparent and ensure that the benefits of our presence and products positively contribute to each goal while minimising adverse effects.
Collaborations for change
Jotun supports international efforts, declarations and collaborations aimed at creating fair and healthy business environments. We work with Transparency International on campaigns against corruption and adhere to the United Nations Global Compacts (UNGC) to support a sustainable and inclusive global economy.
