Supplier Diversity
At Johnson & Johnson, we recognize the importance of having a diverse supplier base that reflects our patients and customers around the world. We are committed to working with small and diverse suppliers that can support our long-term growth objectives and add value to our businesses by providing innovative solutions to our marketing, manufacturing and R&D efforts.
The Johnson & Johnson Supplier Diversity Program was formally established in 1998, and since then our total spending with small businesses and diverse-owned suppliers has been nearly one billion dollars.
Our program structure includes the Corporate Office of Supplier Diversity working in concert with a supplier diversity team that has representation from each of the Johnson & Johnson operating companies. The senior management from each company, which has primary responsibility for achieving supplier diversity spending targets, has fully endorsed and is committed to the program.
Program Overview
Our Supplier Diversity Program is designed to provide opportunities for qualified small and diverse businesses. Included in our program are:
- Certified minority-owned businesses, small and large
- Certified woman-owned businesses, small and large
- Certified Gay/Lesbian-owned businesses, small and large
