Our Aims and Targets

A key aspect of Sustainability 2017 is the focus on making sustainability a ‘way of working’ in Johnson Matthey.

Our emphasis on sustainability awareness among employees continues and in 2010/11 plans are underway to further integrate sustainability themes into our existing training programmes. At career foundation level we aim to develop additional materials to support business inductions and raise the profile of sustainability within the content of our Group Business Training course. We are also developing new materials for inclusion in our global management development programmes for mid career level employees. At the senior management level, work is underway to identify appropriate external seminars and to provide updates and training as part of the sustainability review process to management teams.

As part of Johnson Matthey’s ongoing commitment to strengthen and improve communication and engagement with employees, our roll out of a group wide employee opinion survey will continue in 2010/11. Employees in the group’s Process Technologies business will be invited to participate in a survey and results will be communicated to them during the second quarter of the year. Further details of this survey and its results and outcomes will be included in next year’s Sustainability Report.

Since becoming a member of the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) we have begun to benchmark our community investment activities and understand more about best practice from other LBG members. As a result, work is underway to review current processes and activities across the group with a view to developing more detailed guidance for group businesses on all aspects of community investment, particularly employee volunteering. As part of this work we are also looking to develop our data management systems to expand the scope of our community investment reporting.
