Our Aims and Targets

All our operations have now set long term environmental improvement plans that incorporate emissions reduction targets to meet the goals of the Sustainability 2017 Vision. Specific projects are underway across the group to help achieve the vision.

Our environment related priorities for 2008/09 are to:

• Work towards the Sustainability 2017 Vision and develop plans to achieve zero waste to landfill at all sites.
• Understand the potential impacts of business expansion in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and develop systems to reduce these and other environmental impacts.
• Quantify our key resources and develop performance indicators to allow us to begin to reduce resource use per unit of output in line with the goals of Sustainability 2017.
• Ensure compliance with upcoming changes in environmental legislation at all appropriate Johnson Matthey facilities.
• Continue to work towards our target of achieving ISO 14001 registration at all manufacturing sites by 2010.
