Charitable Donations

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.

Many employees contribute their own time, effort and money to support local community projects and annually, Johnson Matthey adopts a Charity of the Year which provides a focus for staff support and fundraising.  Our Charity of the Year partnership commences in August each year. 


Johnson Matthey Charity of the Year – EveryChild

In 2007/08 Johnson Matthey is delighted to support EveryChild, an international development charity fighting to protect some of the world's most vulnerable children. The charity works with children around the world who are, or risk being separated from their families.

EveryChild protects these excluded children and gives them the chance to grow up in loving families with a safe and secure future. They work to keep families together and prevent children from being abandoned to institutions or the street, or being forced to work.
