Actual: 90 percent of operating companies have a plan. Some have already removed hazardous substances from their products. Goal: Implement an electronics take-back program in all regions to ensure that 100 percent of waste electronic-based products are offered to be taken back for remanufacturing/reuse. Actual: 21 percent of our regions have implemented take-back programs. In addition, the weight of products taken back increased by 6.7 percent when compared to 2006, and by more than 1,500-fold when compared to the baseline year, 2005. Environmental Literacy Goal: Increase employee awareness and understanding of global environmental issues. 100 percent of facilities have a five-year literacy plan and implement one environmental education campaign each year from 2006–2010. Actual: 92 percent of facilities deployed a literacy campaign in 2007. More than 60 percent focused on climate change. Biodiversity Goal: Enhance biodiversity conservation in areas over which we have control or influence. 100 percent of our facilities or companies have a biodiversity conservation plan. Actual: As of the end of 2007, approximately 95 percent of our operating companies have a biodiversity plan that is endorsed by leadership. More than 50 conservation projects are underway around the world; 55 percent of these projects are to improve the biodiversity on our own work campuses; the remainder are offsite projects. Compliance Goal: Zero accidental releases; zero government-issued violations. Actual: Nine accidental releases; thirteen government-issued violations. External Manufacturing Goal: 100 percent of external manufacturers in conformance with Johnson & Johnson Standards for Responsible External Manufacturing by 2010. Actual: Shared our Standards and/or integrated these standards into formal contracts with more than 80 percent of our external manufacturers by year-end 2007.
