Key Performance Indicators

KPI – Annual rate of greater than three day accidents per 1,000 employees
Target – Achieve a zero ‘greater than three day accidents’ safety target
Johnson Matthey is a chemical manufacturing business and a significant proportion of our employees work in production environments with chemicals and process machinery. Rigorous safety systems apply across all facilities and are essential if the group is to avoid accidents which could cause injury to people or damage to our property, both of which can impact the group’s performance. We actively manage our safety performance through monitoring the incidence of accidents that result in more than three days’ lost time.

KPI – Number of major manufacturing sites with ISO 14001 registration
Target – Implement ISO 14001 at all major manufacturing sites by 2010
Operating our business in an environmentally responsible way is a cornerstone of sustainability. The ISO 14001 environmental management system provides a solid foundation for achieving and maintaining high standards and for driving improved performance. All of the group’s major manufacturing sites are required to implement ISO 14001 with a target of achieving registration by 2010. At 31st March 2010, 41 out of our 45 major manufacturing sites had achieved registration with the remaining four on track to do so in 2010/11. Further information on our progress towards ISO 14001 implementation is given in the environmental performance section.

KPI – Annual incidence of occupational illness cases per 1,000 employees
Target – Reduce incidence of occupational illness cases by at least 30% by 2013/14
The health and wellbeing of our employees is a priority for Johnson Matthey and we are committed to minimising workplace related negative health effects.
