Quality Action "Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skilful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.“ William A. Forster

Quality Innovation is not enough Quality is more than a label. It is a focus on the dynamics of production.

Sustainability? “I think we share similar experiences and it was really useful. You can see around this room all our production. So I think it was really, really useful. I think this second workshop worked better than the previous one. But that is normal because we are already connected. We have already some experience. So it’s different.” (FGD 8)
