Our products and services are the clearest demonstration of our vision for a cleaner, healthier world.
And their biggest positive impact occurs when our customers use them in their products. But we also want to ensure we make them in ways that minimise our impact on the planet and our local communities. We rely on our talented employees and supply chain partners to help us do that.
Two centuries of producing and innovating products.
We use our expertise in platinum group metal (PGM) chemistry, catalysis and process design to research, design and make products, services and solutions that support our vision for a cleaner, healthier world.
From automotive catalysts that prevent harmful pollutants entering the atmosphere, to catalysts that help turn household waste into sustainable fuels, and from technologies that help make clean hydrogen to world-class recycling skills that help recover and reuse scarce precious metals.
We also use our science and innovation skills to maintain a pipeline of new and improved products that will help the world accelerate towards net zero.
This year, we set important new 2030 targets to measure how much our products benefit society as they address global greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and to advance the circular economy as we increase the amount of recycled PGMs in our technologies.
Tackling the environmental footprint of our own operations.
While our products can help deliver our vision for a cleaner, healthier world, we must ensure we make them in ways that lower our own environmental impact. Last year, we committed to reaching net zero by 2040 and developed a series of 2030 targets to set us on our way. We also joined the UN Global Compact’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C.
We have group policies, processes and systems that help us achieve a high level of environmental performance.
We also have a number of corporate standards that cover the following environmental aspects:
Our people are central to our success.
We value difference and are committed to ensuring that everyone who works with us can do so in a safe, welcoming environment. We support high ethical standards in our value chain and are proud of our long-standing connections with our local communities.
