Cleaner air
One in every three new cars carries an emission control catalyst from Johnson Matthey. That's millions of cars. Our catalysts stop around 20 million tonnes of pollutants in their tracks every year - a breath of fresh air for people all over the world.

Finding the remedy
millions
of symptoms relieved each year
Active pharmaceutical ingredients are the constituents of pills and other medications that do all the work, whether it's attacking cancer cells, regulating a heartbeat or combating severe pain.
Our chemistry helps relieve symptoms in millions of people each year.
Recycling rare elements
The more platinum group metals (pgms) we can reuse, the less we need to take from the earth. So we've developed highly advanced processes for extracting and separating pgms from products. In fact, we recycle enough platinum and palladium in a year to make millions of autocatalysts.
