16 PrinciplesPrinciples Our corporate principles and guidelines were worked out, formulated and communicated together. However, the most important part is to live up to them in every day’s interactions with colleagues and customers. Some of these values were already presented as part of this brochure. The following pa- ragraphs summarise the information that can not be found on other pages. Research and development: Our potential for innovation al- lows us to be the spearhead in R&D and adhesive application technologies for all product segments and industrial areas in which we operate. More than 33 % of our Top-20 products have been newly developed over the last four years. Quality management is not a legal matter to us but a com- pany principle. All departments show an exceptional level of quality awareness, a decisive factor for the success of Jo- wat. Total Quality Management means optimisation of inter- nal processes, error prevention, superior product quality and supplies on time. Solution partners are manufacturers of machinery, materi- als, substrates or application equipment, serving the same industry we supply. The exchange of ideas and experience in regard to research and development activities, product ap- plication, as well as co-operative efforts between us, will lead to improved and new practical assembly methods. All custo- mers will benefit from these efforts. As a globally active enterprise with local roots, we are con- stantly aware of our economic, ecologic and social re- sponsibilities. This involves saving natural resources, using renewable raw materials and safe manufacturing processes, reducing emissions as much as possible and providing com- prehensive environmental information and support to our customers. Adhesive Research Award: Jowat products win prizes and awards. For us this is reason enough to support and reward innovative and creative work. Since 1995, Jowat has been honouring outstanding solutions and innovative ideas in the adhesive sector with the Adhesive Research Award. „If we succeed in thinking differently together with our customers and partners, this will improve our adhesives in the end.
