Coates Guiding Principles remain:
Customer Partnership – we aim to develop long-term partnerships, not short term gains from our customers. Coates still intend to be in the industry in another fifty years. We aim to provide the best service. Only by understanding both our internal and external customers' requirements will we be able to meet their needs without exception.
People & Teamwork – we believe in participative management and open communications which, together with individual and corporate integrity, creates a working environment that encourages involvement and teamwork.
Advanced Technology – we are committed to technical innovation and believe in the value of well trained people in all functions.
Environmental Concern – we will only manufacture and distribute in an environmentally responsible manner. Coates UK Labs and manufacturing facilities were one of the first within the industry to be accredited to ISO14001.
World Class – we aim to produce and distribute world class products which are recognized as such by informed customers and competitors in our field.
Quality Improvement – we believe in continuous quality improvement, by everyone, of everything we do.
