Ethnicity inclusion
At Johnson Matthey, we create space for our ethnically diverse employees to enhance their skills and develop their careers. We are currently working to fulfil our commitments for the “Change the Race Ratio” and “If not now, when” initiatives.
Partnerships & recognition
JM works with a number of external partners and have signed several initiatives to demonstrate our commitment to race and ethnicity inclusion. We continuously look beyond our business to measure ourselves against the high standards set by experts and industry benchmarks so that we can continuously develop and improve.

Key achievements
Although there is room for progress still to be made, throughout the years JM has already accomplished a tremendous amount when it comes to race and ethnicity inclusion.
Talent accelerator programme
JM has launched a Talent Accelerator Programme specifically aimed at ethnic minority employees to support our ambitions towards increasing racial and ethnic minority representation within JM and across leadership.
Reverse Mentoring Programme
Through the Reverse Mentoring Programme, LGBT+ employees at JM are paired with a company leader to share their unique experiences. It aims to broaden the perspectives of leaders at JM as to what certain marginalised communities experience, while also giving a voice to LGBT+ employees.
Awareness and education
Our ERGs, ambassadors, and the DI&B team regularly host several educational webinars on various topics relating to ethnicity, including our “Women of Colour Lived Experiences” series, the “Celebrating the lives and legacies of US black pioneers” session, and sessions celebrating Ramadan, Eid, and South Asian Heritage Month.
Tent Mentorship Initiative
Johnson Matthey is mentoring refugee women in the UK, Sweden and Germany as part of Tent's Mentorship Initiative.
