Morgan Advanced Materials
People and communities
Having people who bring a diverse range of talents and perspectives, and who feel engaged in their role, is of paramount importance to our long-term success. Our employees have been instrumental in making Morgan the company it is today.
Our Morgan Code is the set of principles which governs our behaviour and guides the actions we take. We use our ‘Your Voice’ engagement survey to listen to our people and take action where required. This helps us to achieve our strategic aim of delivering performance and value creation for our stakeholders.
The Morgan family
| Our aspirations | Our 2030 goals | Progress in 2024 |
|
Zero harm to our employees. |
0.10 lost time accident rate |
2024 LTA rate 0.13 (2023 0.19). |
|
Our employee demographics will be inclusive and reflective of the communities in which we operate. |
40% of our leadership population will be female |
In 2024, 34% of our leadership population is female, compared to 30% in 2023. We are supporting women through early careers and at the recruitment stage through women-centred events. We have female mentoring programmes and a thriving employee resource group, Women@Morgan, with country-based chapters to empower women across the globe. We took part in a female-centred recruitment event in Europe – herCAREER and shared the inspiring stories of our female leaders. We became a member of the Society of Women Engineers and a member of Women in Manufacturing (WiM), to help increase the influence of women in the manufacturing sector. We helped inspire the next generation of material scientists when our Global Materials Centre of Excellence for Structural Ceramics, located at our Stourport UK site, hosted two students for a week of real life materials science experience, in partnership with Nuffield |

A work environment where all employees are valued and can do their best work. |
Top quartile engagement score |
We supported our people to gain the valuable skills that help them develop and progress in their career, for example a targeted English language learning programme for 70 employees at our Shanghai site. We are communicating with our people more effectively, providing our site workers with cross-company communications and helping them to understand the direct actions we have taken as a result of our ‘Your Voice’ engagement survey. Our engagement score was 52% (2023 pulse survey 54%, 2022 53%). This was the first full survey since the 2023 cyber incident. Although the overall engagement rate has remained similar over the last few years, analysis shows that where we have focused efforts on specific items we have seen positive changes, for example, scores linked to reward and safety have seen year-on-year improvements. We will continue this approach in 2025 and beyond. |
Our safety performance improved significantly during 2024, with a lost time accident rate of 0.13 compared to 0.19 at the end of the prior year.
