Our Stakeholders

Employees First

The commitment of employees to our goals is vital in making Sustainability 2017 a success. Employee engagement has remained a key priority with the focus on giving employees a clear view of the importance of sustainability to the overall business strategy and equipping them with the information they need to take forward their own sustainability ideas. Training, communication and progress updates have all continued this year.

Feedback from employees on Sustainability 2017 is an important aspect in directing what we do going forward. Following the initial roll out and as local initiatives began to gather pace, a strong message emerged that employees were particularly interested in hearing more about how other businesses in Johnson Matthey are working towards the group goals and that there was a need to have some way of sharing ideas and best practice. As a result, a dedicated sustainability intranet site has recently been launched to provide a means for everyone in the group to feedback their ideas, share good practice on sustainability and to offer a central source of information which employees can draw upon to support their initiatives.

The Johnson Matthey Sustainability Awards were launched in 2008/09 to recognise and share best practice across the group. In their first year, a very strong set of around 90 entries were received and the seven winners were announced in last year’s Sustainability Report. The awards have generated very positive feedback from many people across the group and judging is now underway for the 2009/10 awards. Winners will be announced in September and presented on our website.

Work to develop an enhanced sustainability section on the company’s corporate website is now well underway. Scheduled for launch during 2010/11, this will provide a wider range of materials for employees and for our other stakeholders.
