Johnson Matthey, a British multinational speciality chemicals and sustainable technologies company headquartered in the UK, announced their goal to reach carbon neutrality by the year 2040.

While the company aims to help customers achieve their own net zero ambitions, at the same time, Johnson Matthey takes responsibility to address their own GHG emissions and environmental footprint and help enable the transition to a low carbon world.

That’s why they set a bold new commitment to reach net zero by 2040 and in April 2021 they signed up to the UN Global Compact’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C. This commitment reflects their recognition of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) science on climate change. It also supports their earlier climate actions, including signing the Paris Climate Pledge to keep the global temperature rise below 2°C and their commitment to the UN SDGs, including UN SDG13 on climate action.
