Corporate citizenship

Well-defined governance and corporate responsibility policies reflect our values. These policies also strengthen our business and our reputation, and underpin relationships with stakeholders.

Ensuring employee safety and well-being is one of our top priorities. It's enshrined in the Jotun HSEQ Management System, alongside our commitment to protecting the environment and delivering quality products.

In terms of reducing the environmental footprint of our operations, we work actively to meet defined goals across the entire product lifecycle. The Jotun GreenSteps programme is a structured and holistic approach to improve our environmental footprint. From carefully selecting raw materials, refining manufacturing processes to minimise energy consumption and waste, and ensuring proper use and recycling of our products.

Jotun's Diversity group

Diversity and inclusion

We believe the diversity of the Jotun workforce is key to our competitive advantage because it drives creativity, and enables us to create teams aligned with the needs of the markets in which we operate and the customers we serve.

That's why we launched a comprehensive Diversity and Inclusion initiative in 2020, consistent with the UN Sustainable Development Goal number 8 (Decent work and economic growth).

Jotun employees represent a wide range of nationalities, ethnicities, age ranges, and professional skills, and include men and women from 90 nations across more than 50 countries. Some 90 % of our employees work outside Norway.

We continuously build staff competencies through classroom and workplace training coordinated by the Jotun Academy.
