The Board Currently Exists of the Following Members Whose Term BOARD-P-07-04 Proposed Changes to Board Membership This paper invites members to consider outstanding changes to the LowCVP Board The term of seven LowCVP Board members ended on the 31.12.06. In December, the Director wrote to these members to ask if they wished to continue. In January, the Director, following discussion with the Chair, wrote to members (BOARD-P-07-01) inviting comments on proposed changes to membership. This paper revises the proposals based upon the responses received. In order to refresh the Board membership, it is proposed to replace each of the members that have served since 2003, the first meeting of LowCVP. The proposed changes are: Board member whose term has Proposed new member Position ended Dr David Hart, Imperial College Prof Abigail Bristow, There has been unanimous Loughborough University support for the appointment of Abigail who has accepted the nomination. The previous proposal was to reappoint David, but the wish to include a representative from the fleet sector has not made this possible. John Mumford (Duncan Eggar), Paul Jefferiss, Environmental Unanimous agreement – Paul has BP Policy Director, BP accepted the position Mr Malcolm Noyle, Lloyds TSB Jon Walden MD Lex Vehicle There were concerns raised that Autolease Leasing the previous proposal excluded a representative from the fleet sector. This has been addressed by the nomination of Jon. This will be discussed at the meeting. Mr Tony Brown, LGA One from: Concerns were raised regarding - Nicky Gavron, Deputy Mayor Nicky Gavron by one member. of London Two alternative experts from local - Shona Johnstone, LGA Government are proposed. This Transport Committee will be discussed at the meeting. - Helen Holland, Commission for Integrated Transport Mr Nick Hartley, Oxera Brendan Connor, Chairman of Unanimous support. Brendan has Cenex accepted the position. Mr Neville Jackson, Ricardo Neville Jackson, Technical Unanimous support – Neville Director, Ricardo informed. Mr Jack Henry, Travel West Neil Scales OBE, MD, Mersey Unanimous support – Neil will be Midlands Travel approached to ascertain his interest. Chris Leigh, DEFRA Lord Oxburgh, D1 Oils Concerns have been raised about the availability of Lord Oxbrugh. This will be discussed at the meeting. Vacancy Commercial Vehicles Jamie Borwick, Chairman, Modec Unanimous support – Jamie will be approached. If all the proposed changes were implemented the balance of the Board would be as shown below. This is an acceptable balance – albeit with less than optimum representation from the research / academic community. The change would also introduce two women as it is anomalous to have no female representation and good candidates are potentially available. Balance of the Board after changes Sector MOU Members Number requirement Automotive manufacturers up to 4 SAAB 4 members Toyota Ford Motor Co Ltd Modec Supply chain, technology providers, up to 4 Johnson Matthey 4 after service and other support sectors members Ricardo Mira Cenex Energy/fuel industries up to 3 Shell 3 members BP D1 Oils Transport operators/users up to 3 Mersey Travel 2 members Lex Vehicle Leasing Government up to 4 DTI 3 (UK/devolved/regional/local/NDPBs) members DfT ANO Trusts/delivery bodies up to 2 Carbon Trust 2 members Energy Saving Trust Consumer/environmental groups up to 3 RAC Foundation 2 members T2000 Research/academic community and up to 3 Loughborough Uni 1 independents members Up to 20 21 If all recommendations were accepted, and all of the proposed nominations were accepted (considered unlikely), the new Board would comprise of twenty one members. In this event the MOU would need to be modified. In practice, not all members are able to attend all meetings. The operation of the Board is unlikely to be affected by one further member. Please note that Robert Evans has also stepped down as chair of the Steering Group. His position will be filled following the next Steering Group meeting. 2 Annex 1 – Biographies of Recommended Candidates Current Comment and Recommendation member Mr Malcolm Malcolm left Lloyds TSB Autolease in 2006 but continues to work on a consultancy basis - he would like to retain his position on the Board. Malcolm Noyle remains a leading figure in the fleet industry and very active in LowCVP. However, he is no longer formally employed by Lloyds TSB Autolease and the Director believes this would be an appropriate opportunity to introduce a new representative. The proposed replacement is Jon Walden - Managing Director, Lex Vehicle Leasing (a joint venture between RAC and HBOS). Lex is the UK’s largest fleet company employing 600 people from centres in Manchester, Marlow and Stirling. In its Contract with the Future, Lex Vehicle Leasing accepts: • that it is part of a global community from which it derives benefits and to which it owes responsibility • its responsibility extends to lessening the impact of all aspects of its operations on that community and the environment on which it depends • that the car - with its traditional technologies - has a detrimental effect on the environment • that CO2 emissions from vehicles are a significant contributor to global warming • that vehicle emissions have a detrimental effect on urban air quality and public health and well-being It also recognises “that the car has brought great benefits to, and is an intrinsic part of, modern society” and that, as the UK's foremost contract vehicle hire company, it has a responsibility to use its position to accelerate the change to 'clean', sustainable vehicle usage. John is responsible for the overall strategic development and operational performance of Lex. He has worked extensively in the automotive sector for over twenty five years. Following a term as Managing Director of Lex between 1990 and 1995 he rejoined the company in 1999. Mr Tony Tony is no longer a member of the LGA Environment Committee. As such, the Director has thanked him for his work for LowCVP and he stepped down Brown at the end of his term. There are a number of potential candidates for this position from a range of backgrounds. I have offered three women with the skills and background for the position and to provide a better balance of representation. • Nicky Gavron, Deputy Mayor of London. Nicky is Chair of the London Hydrogen Partnership and a member of the Mayor’s Management Board. She lists amongst her key issues and concerns strategic planning and integrated transport (including sustainable design and construction), climate change, energy, water, waste and green industries. As Deputy Mayor, Nicky has responsibility for the environment and is now leading for the Mayor on mitigating the impact of Climate Change. Central is the recent launch of the London Climate Change Agency, which has a wide remit to reduce London’s CO2 emissions across energy, water, waste and transport. • Shona Johnstone has been Cambridgeshire County Councillor since 1993. Between 1998 and 2005 she was lead member for Environment and Transport. She was a member of the National Cycling Strategy Board from its inception in 2002 until its abolition in 2005. In 2004 she was appointed to the Local Government Association Environment Board and, following its restructure in 2006, is now a member of the Regeneration and Transport Board. In 2006 she was invited to join the Conservative Party's Quality of Life Commission, serving on both the transport and climate change sub groups. She recently gave evidence to the Environmental Audit Committee inquiry into transport and climate change. • Helen Holland is a Member of Bristol City Council and has been a member of the Council’s Cabinet since it was first formed in 2000. Since June 2003 she has been the Executive Member for External Affairs and Partnerships and, before then, was Executive Member for Environment, Transport and Leisure from 2000 to 2003. She is also a Board Member of South West Regional Development Agency. Helen has taken a keen interest in transportation issues and was actively involved in the development of the Bristol Local Transport Plan which received ‘Centre of Excellence’ status from government in 2001. She also chaired the ‘EURoPrice’ political network set up by the European Commission to undertake research into road pricing and currently chairs the Planning Advisory Committee of the CIVITAS Forum. She has presented a number of papers on transport matters at international and local conferences and, in September 2002, was invited by the Secretary of State for Transport, Alistair Darling, to join the Commission for Integrated Transport, the independent body that advises the UK Government on transport matters. Helen was recently elected a Fellow of the Institute of Highways and Transportation. Chris Leigh Chris resigned from the Board in September. His replacement at DEFRA has indicated he does not wish to take up the role. It is recommended Chris is replaced by the ex Shell Chairman, now with D1 Oils, Lord Oxburgh. Ron Oxburgh was outspoken in his concern of climate change whilst at Shell commenting there is "little hope for the world" unless carbon dioxide emissions are dealt with and that climate change makes him "very worried for the planet". He was also influential in getting Shell to form a social responsibilities committee and told the Guardian newspaper: "I think that in corporate organisations like Shell... you develop a corporate mentality and you can develop an insensitivity to some of the factors that weigh very heavily with people outside." His views have been seen as helping to turn Shells image. Lord Oxburgh worked as Chief Scientific Advisor at the Ministry of Defence and Rector of Imperial College London. He is also an Honorary Professor at Cambridge University and Fellow of the Royal Society. He became a KBE 12 years ago and made a life peer in 1999. As well as being a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords and chairing its Science and Technology Select Committee, he also does charity work, chairing the Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics Network to promote the subjects among young people.

  • Preliminary Results for the Year Ended 31St March 2021 Robust Performance and Growth Opportunities Driven by Sustainable Solutions
    News Release th Thursday 27 May 2021, 7.00 am Preliminary results for the year ended 31st March 2021 Robust performance and growth opportunities driven by sustainable solutions Robert MacLeod, Chief Executive, commented: Our employees have done a tremendous job adapting to new ways of working through COVID-19, whilst still delivering for our customers. It is thanks to their hard work that we have delivered a robust set of results which, in the context of a pandemic, is especially pleasing and testament to their efforts. Following a challenging first half, we recovered strongly in the second half helped by a strong recovery in our end markets and higher precious metal prices. We are delivering our efficiency programme, tightly managing working capital and generating cash from our more established businesses which we are continuing to invest for growth, particularly in battery materials and hydrogen. In the year we made good strategic progress. We began entering into partnerships to advance the commercialisation of eLNO and secured new customer wins in Fuel Cells. Our investment in sustainable technologies builds on our existing expertise and will enable the transformations in transport, energy, decarbonisation of industry and a circular economy that the world needs to reach net zero – transformations that are at the heart of achieving our vision of a cleaner, healthier world for today and future generations. It is in this context that we’ve launched our new sustainability goals which will result in Johnson Matthey being a net zero business by 2040. Our sustainability agenda relates not only to the way we run our own business, but underpins our strategic focus on the current and future technologies we sell to our customers.
