The Elements of Sustainability

We have made sustainability a core part of our business strategy. It is about the way we do business. Johnson Matthey uses natural resources efficiently to make products that improve the environmental performance of our customers’ products and processes.

But we also take a broad view of sustainability. It is about the health, safety and wellbeing of the people who work for us and our communities. It also means using resources efficiently, innovatively and effectively. At the same time sustainability is about delivering value to our shareholders and our customers in the most responsible way. We have to make sustainable long term decisions to build a company and plan its third century of business.

Sustainability is about making the right decisions for our people, our communities, our shareholders and, most signficant of all, for the planet.

For us there are five elements of sustainability: Social; Environment; Health and Safety; Governance and Financial.
