Health, safety, environment, and quality

With safety as our cornerstone, our goal is to conduct our operations with zero injuries, fires, spills, or claims, and to protect our employees and the environment as we deliver quality products and services.

HSEQ audit at the Vindal factory in Norway

Push for zero

In our drive to continuously and proactively identify and neutralise potential threats to employee and environmental safety, and maintain optimal manufacturing performance, we:

  • Document issues
  • Record incidents
  • Implement improvements
  • Share the learning

Every incident or potential incident reminds us that the push for zero is our top priority.

Systems and control

The Jotun HSEQ Management System outlines the rules and regulations that must be implemented across the company. Specifically, it provides the structure to track and manage 15 factors related to health, safety, environment, and product quality management.

We expand and update the system regularly, and a great example is "Safety in Projects," which we added in 2019 to ensure a uniform approach to the risks associated with construction projects.

To ensure every corner of Jotun's global manufacturing and supplier network aligns with corporate goals, every subsidiary and supplier must delegate HSEQ responsibilities to key individuals for local implementation.

We perform audits every three years to verify compliance with HSEQ procedures.
