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 />
