Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, recently announced a new sustainability strategy framework. Ramping up activity across three pillars of activity – JM’s products and services, its operations and people – the strategy enables JM to significantly increase the positive contribution it is making in accelerating progress towards a cleaner and healthier world.

JM’s focus on sustainable technologies means its biggest sustainability impact is how its products can enable others to decarbonise transport, energy and industrial systems, while also strengthening circularity across a wide range of chemical production processes. JM’s strategic growth plans focus on its current and future technologies supporting a net zero future.

JM recently made a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 and became a signatory to the Business Ambition for 1.5C, making it a member of the UNFCCC’s “Race to Zero” campaign ahead of COP26. The announcement provides key details on the process the company is putting in place in working towards this target, while also setting out broader sustainability goals.

The 11 goals are set out across the three pillars of the sustainability strategy:

 Products and services 

Goal: Produce and innovate products for a cleaner, healthier world

Goal: Drive lower global greenhouse emissions

Goal: Enable less harmful air pollution globally

Goal: Conserve scarce resource

 Operations 

Goal: Achieve net zero by 2040

Goal: Reduce water consumption and waste

Goal: Minimise environmental footprint

 People 

Goal: Create a diverse, inclusive and engaged company

Goal: Keep people safe

Goal: Uphold human rights in our value chain

Goal: Invest in our local communities

These goals are all supported by 17 interim targets to 2030 to maintain focus.
