Johnson Matthey today announced its new Nature Strategy, outlining the company’s commitments and actions to minimise its environmental footprint, promote circularity, and enhance the local environments and communities where it operates. The strategy sets ambitious goals for the responsible use of natural resources and reinforces JM’s commitment to restoring biodiversity.
As part of the strategy, JM focuses on reducing the ecological impact of its products, technologies, and global operations through targets that aim to reduce waste, conserve water, increase recycling, and implement biodiversity protection plans at local sites. Today, JM is proud to share these commitments as a central element of its long-term sustainability vision, highlighting its responsibility to protect fragile ecosystems and natural resources.
Commenting on the launch, Anne Chassagnette, JM’s Chief Sustainability Officer, states:
“We are fully aware of the impact our products, technologies, operations and supply chain have on nature. To reflect this, we have set ourselves ambitious targets for our operations. I’m delighted to launch this new strategy which confirms our commitments as a responsible business to sustainability, circularity, and the long-term future of the planet.”
This strategy will see JM working closely with partners, NGOs, and key stakeholders to ensure its commitments are both measurable and adaptable as environmental policies and expectations evolve.
