Our Citizenship &<br />
Sustainability<br />
While the terms citizenship<br />
and sustainability are widely<br />
used today, the concepts<br />
behind them are not new to<br />
Johnson & Johnson.<br />
Our responsibilities to those who use our<br />
products and services, to our employees, to the<br />
communities in which we live and work, to the<br />
environment, and to our shareholders are voiced<br />
in Our Credo and have guided employees of<br />
Johnson & Johnson for nearly 75 years. Efforts<br />
that we now capture under the heading of<br />
Citizenship & Sustainability have existed internally<br />
for decades across the enterprise.<br />
A decentralized management approach is<br />
one of our core strategic operating principles,<br />
and we recognize the need to coordinate our<br />
Citizenship & Sustainability efforts across the<br />
enterprise. Our office of Worldwide Corporate<br />
Governance partners with our Environment,<br />
Health, Safety & Sustainability, and Citizenship<br />
teams to coordinate and track performance of<br />
the Company’s overall efforts. (For more, see the<br />
Governance section of this report.)<br />
Our Citizenship & Sustainability strategic<br />
priorities focus efforts to improve our social,<br />
environmental, governance and economic<br />
impact and influence. These include: advancing<br />
global public health; reducing carbon emissions,<br />
protecting the environment and conserving<br />
natural resources; and conducting our<br />
business responsibly so we can continue using<br />
capabilities, expertise, influence and partnerships<br />
to fulfill our role in making the world a better,<br />
healthier place for generations to come.<br />
With the launch of the Citizenship &<br />
Sustainability 2020 Goals we are creating a new<br />
vision of health—a vision that seeks new ways<br />
to make everyone, everywhere healthier. Our<br />
Citizenship & Sustainability 2020 Goals will help<br />
advance healthier societies. With the ideas we<br />
generate, products we make, and good habits we<br />
create, we can do more than ever before.<br />
Our priorities are identified as three pillars:<br />
<strong>People</strong><br />
Helping people be healthier, by<br />
providing better access and care in<br />
more places around the world.<br />
<strong>Places</strong><br />
Making the places we live, work and<br />
play healthier, by using fewer and<br />
smarter resources.<br />
<strong>Practices</strong><br />
Teaming up with partners and<br />
employees to further advance our<br />
culture of health and well-being.<br />
These pillars permeate everything we do and<br />
serve as critical components in our commitment<br />
to creating value through innovation, fostering<br />
global reach and local focus, driving excellence<br />
in execution, and leading with purpose.<br />
Ultimately, we view Citizenship & Sustainability<br />
as an intrinsic component of our aspiration to<br />
help billions of people around the world live<br />
longer, healthier and happier lives.<br />
