Environment

Environmental responsibility is a key element in making Johnson Matthey a more sustainable business. We have an impact on the environment in many ways – through the resources we use, the way we operate our processes and the action of our products and services on enhancing the environment for others.

We take raw materials and apply our knowledge and expertise to turn them into more valuable products. The costs of these raw materials are likely to increase in future as they are depleted or become harder to access. By increasing the efficiency with which we use these valuable resources, we will generate cost savings for our business today and help to conserve resources for the future.

The recycling and reuse of precious metals are a fundamental element of what we do. We shall continue to draw on our expertise in this area to benefit the resource efficiency of our own operations and provide enhanced solutions and services for our customers.

By the nature of our business activities, Johnson Matthey has very little negative impact on the biodiversity of terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments. As part of all significant investments and acquisitions, we complete a detailed environmental impact assessment and over the years, we have managed a number of projects looking at improving the areas of biodiversity at our operating sites.
