The path to improvement
Jotun follows a long-term global, mandatory and integrated HSEQ strategy to build a uniform culture where
safety, quality and environmental care are central to everything we do.
Jotun’s high standards are the result of an established,
structured and responsible approach that constantly evolves in
the quest for incremental improvement.
From Jotun Group management down and across our
global network, employees are trained to achieve optimal
levels of care, safety and efficiency, targeting the objective
of zero incidents, fires, claims and spills. Jotun’s new HSEQ
Management System, which completed its full implementation
last year, is the cornerstone of our strategy.
This ensures that every production company within the Group
delegates responsibilities according to 14 different elements (i.e.
risk management, quality, and product safety), working towards
the same universal goals.
The result of our efforts from 2018 demonstrates that Jotun
continues to move in the right direction.
‘I Care’
Every Jotun company runs one mandatory ‘I Care’ campaign
a year – focusing on raising HSE awareness and reducing
operational risk. In addition, each company must also run two
further campaigns tailored to address their individual needs and
risk environments. The initiatives seek to engage all employees
and influence behaviour, with the companies required to report
on their impact and effectiveness at Group level.
The best local ideas are shared throughout the Group, while the
standout mandatory campaign is recognised with the ‘I Care
Campaign of the Year’ award. In 2018 the mandatory activity
focused on the ‘man-machine’ interface to build awareness of
risk and reduce injury potential. In 2018, Jotun Thailand won
the overall campaign of the year title.
‘Lessons Learned’
All incidents of high-risk potential, such as fires, are reported,
analysed and followed up to mitigate the possibility of
future reoccurrence. ’Lessons Learned’ case studies are key
improvement tools.
‘Lessons Learned’ document an event’s chronology, its cause,
the corrective actions to be taken, and preventative actions to
avoid repeat incidents. Finally ‘expected actions from all’ are
