Individual Responsibility and Ownership Are Essential

We involve everyone in improving processes and products and promote an environment of continuous learning and further development.

We accept that we are all responsible for the quality and safety of our products.

We benefit from the skills, experience and competence of everyone throughout our global companies and across cultures.
