Sustainability

Building a sustainable business is key to our strategy for continued growth and many of our products and technologies make a positive contribution to our society and the environment, and a real difference to everyone's lives

A sustainable vision

To us, good performance is not just about profit. It's about running our business in the most sustainable way we can. That's why we set tough targets to meet over a ten-year period to 2017. This programme has been completed and we have now set ourselves further stretching goals to 2025.

Why sustainability is so important to Johnson Matthey

A leader in sustainable technologies

Johnson Matthey is focused on developing value adding sustainable technologies. Today, more than 90% of our sales represent products and services which provide sustainability benefits through the positive impact they have on the environment, resource efficiency or human health.

Sustainable operations

Each year we disclose our environmental performance through the Carbon Disclosure Project climate change programme and we are also a constituent of the Ethibel Sustainability Index Excellence Europe – an index of 200 European companies that display the best performance in terms of corporate social responsibility.
