Performance Management

We drive continuous improvement in all aspects of sustainability through corporate policies, a comprehensive management system and the commitment of our employees. Johnson Matthey has key policies in the areas of environment health and safety (EHS), human resources and business integrity and ethics which provide the framework for managing performance.

Our policies and management systems apply to all operations worldwide. Legal requirements are a minimum standard and in many cases our policies and systems are in advance of these.

We have systems in place to measure our social, environmental, health and safety and financial performance. We participate in a number of external surveys including the FTSE4Good, the Carbon Disclosure Project and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. As well as providing further channels of communication with our stakeholders, these surveys help us to benchmark our performance and give us guidance on areas where we can improve.

As we embed the principles of sustainability, we will need a broader framework for managing sustainability performance across the group and more widely through the supply chain. We are developing a group sustainability policy and management systems to outline group requirements and the responsibility of facilities and individuals in meeting the requirements. We will continue to communicate on our progress in next year’s Sustainability Report.

We are also working hard to develop sustainability tools which we will use to benchmark and measure performance in new areas. We have been researching and trialling a number of different options – in particular those relating to complete lifecycle analysis of our products – to make sure we select tools that will ensure consistent and comparable metrics across the group.
