Quality statement
Quality is important to our business because we value our customers. We strive to provide our customers with products and services which meet and even exceed their expectations.

Continual improvement
Each business unit, subsidiary and joint venture is subject to auditing programmes that review and evaluate:
- Quality & Health, Safety and Environmental Management System
