Charitable Work


Johnson Matthey has a long history of support for charitable causes aligned to issues to which the Johnson Matthey business makes a contribution and issues on which employees are passionate.

The company's active and wide ranging donations programme encompasses medical research, education, care for the disabled and young people's charities as well as a number of world-wide community action programmes.Cancer Research
