At Johnson Matthey, we create space for our ethnically diverse employees to enhance their skills and develop their careers. By 2027, our goal is to have at least 15% ethnic minority representation across the senior leadership team. 
 

Partnerships & recognition

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.
