We are all about quality


Explanation:
I think that trans4u's answer is great but here's another idea, a way of incorporating the 'all'. I don't think that 'everyone's business' works as it does not relate it specifically to the company.

  -> Thanks!
neutral  MargoZ: I'm not clear on this one. Is this "Quality comes down...?" or am I just reading it incorrectly?
7 hrs
  -> The meaning of 'is down to all of us' is basically 'is the responsibility of all of us', which for me is different from 'comes down to...'. It may be that 'is down to' is used in the UK but not in the US, I don't know.
