Environment, Health and Safety
Johnson Matthey places high priority on its responsibility for the environment and the health and safety of its employees, customers and the community. The Environment, Health and Safety Committee of the board ensures compliance with the corporate Environment, Health and Safety Policies set out below. Each of our locations around the world is required to formulate its own particular arrangements, including performance targets, to meet the key objectives set out in the corporate policies and to ensure that all employees are aware of policy and their individual responsibilities. Performance is measured through analysis of health and safety and emissions data and through regular site audits.
