Sustainability 2017
In December 2007 we launched Sustainability 2017, our long term vision for the future:
Johnson Matthey is a global business focused on its core skills in catalysts, precious metals, fine chemicals and process technology. It is our strategy to grow our business through investment in technology, the application of key niche market knowledge, the development of products concerned with protecting the environment and through the responsible management of the very valuable materials with which we work.
Throughout the company we are committed to the principles of sustainable development and strive for outstanding resource efficiency and carbon neutrality. Going forward, we aim to further develop and enhance sustainability as a core competence and key driver of competitiveness for our business. We aim to encourage our suppliers and customers to adopt the values of sustainability which we uphold and, for the benefit of our customers, we aim to apply our expertise to the development of a new generation of sustainable products and services.
For the benefit of our shareholders, our employees and for society as a whole, we aim to more than double our earnings per share whilst achieving zero waste and halving the key resources that we consume per unit of output by 2017, the year of Johnson Matthey’s 200th anniversary, to create a business that will continue to grow and prosper in its third century.
