Partnerships allow us to do more than we ever could on our own. Ecosystems are fragile. And if we do not protect them, our food supplies, opportunities for recreation and tourism, and potential sources of medicines and energy supplies will be jeopardized.
Strong partnerships between Johnson & Johnson, its operating companies, nonprofit organizations and other conservation groups are restoring and protecting ecosystems around the world. Below are some of the organizations we support in an effort to create a healthier world.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
The WWF is an international organization dedicated to preserving nature and biological diversity. Johnson & Johnson is a long-time supporter of the WWF. Since 2003, we have supported “Healthy Communities, Healthy Ecosystems” projects around the world.
Healthy Land, Healthy People
Harvard Medical School, Center for Health and the Global Environment
Johnson & Johnson supports this center’s efforts to expand environmental education at medical schools and to promote research and awareness of the impact of global environmental change on human health. We were also involved with a global project co-sponsored by the United Nations Development Program, the United Nations Environment Program and the WHO on biodiversity and human health. The project’s culminating book, “Sustaining Life: How Human Health Depends on Biodiversity,” was published recently.
