Johnson Matthey

Johnson Matthey, a UK-headquartered company in the Chemicals sector, reported its Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. In 2026, the company's Scope 1 emissions were 217,951,000 kg CO2e. Market-based Scope 2 emissions for the same year were 18,908,000 kg CO2e, while location-based Scope 2 emissions were 151,442,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2026 totalled 5,990,330,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for 5,444,069,000 kg CO2e and fuel and energy-related activities for 57,079,000 kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2025, Johnson Matthey's Scope 1 emissions were 225,330,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions were 21,204,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 3,445,486,000 kg CO2e. For 2024, Scope 1 emissions stood at 215,647,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at 66,265,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 3,726,801,000 kg CO2e.

Johnson Matthey has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040. As part of its near-term targets, Johnson Matthey commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 44% by FY2030, using FY2020 as a baseline year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 42% within the same timeframe. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.

Further commitments include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2040 from a FY2020 base year, also verified by SBTi. The company has also set a near-term goal to reduce its operational greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 57% by the end of 2026/27. An earlier intensity target aimed to reduce GHG emissions per unit of production output by 25% for Scope 1 and 2 between 2016 and 2025, and by 50% from 2007 to 2025. Johnson Matthey also aims to reduce its upstream Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services by 20% by 2030, against a 2019 baseline, and an updated target indicates a 42% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 2030, with 2023 as the base year.
