Climate Change

As a health care company, Johnson & Johnson understands that climate change can negatively affect human health. We have taken sustained, long term action to address our greenhouse gas emissions and we are encouraging our supply chain to do the same. We also support responsible climate and energy policy.

Our Climate Friendly Energy Policy underscores our commitment to reduce facility and transportation related emissions, and we have set goals to encourage progress. We have also established a substantial fund for energy and greenhouse gas reduction projects across the Company.

We exceeded our Healthy Planet 2010 climate change goal to reduce our baseline 1990 CO2 emission levels by seven percent in absolute terms by 2010, achieving a 23 percent absolute reduction at the end of 2010. By 2020, we seek to achieve a further 20 percent absolute reduction from our 2010 baseline, without the use of voluntary offsets.
