Transparency

Society today expects heightened levels of transparency from all institutions – governments, universities, public entities, advocacy groups and businesses – reflecting the reality that in the course of ordinary operations, institutions of all kinds impact people. Johnson & Johnson understands the importance of transparency and has instituted enhanced disclosures in many areas of our business.

The patients and professionals who rely on our products place their trust in the reliability of our clinical research, the rigor of our scientific publications, the independence of professional education we fund and the integrity of our relationships with health care professionals.

In addition, we recognize the importance of sharing information on the public policies and political candidates we support as well as our progress against our sustainability and citizenship goals.

Funding to Health Care Professionals
Our companies work to prevent real or perceived conflicts of interest that may arise from relationships between companies and health care professionals. Consistent with our ongoing commitment to ensure ethical and transparent interactions with medical professionals, we regularly review and update our practices that guide interactions with health care professionals, institutions and other stakeholders in the health care system.

We also believe in greater transparency regarding the relationships between health care companies and physicians. Johnson & Johnson was one of the first large health care companies to support the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which was incorporated into the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009. The U.S. Pharmaceutical and Medical Device & Diagnostics companies of Johnson & Johnson began voluntarily providing information on their websites about the payments they make to physicians in 2010.

Clinical Trial Regulations and Results
We post results of controlled clinical studies, regardless of their outcomes, online at ClinicalTrials.gov. Our researchers are committed to publishing results that are scientifically or medically important, including results that affect the registration or utilization of a Company product, as well as results from discontinued clinical research.

Funding for Professional Education
We recognize our responsibility to support health care professionals in their pursuit of current education so they may provide the best patient care possible. Our Pharmaceutical and Medical Device & Diagnostics companies in the U.S. disclose the nature and volume of grants they make for professional education.

Charitable Giving

Our Pharmaceutical and Medical Device & Diagnostics companies in the U.S. provide information on the contributions they make to charitable organizations in the health care field.

Sustainability Goals and Reporting
As a global company broadly based in health care, we seek to make meaningful impacts on society while minimizing our impact on the planet. Our Healthy Future 2015 goals, which were launched this year, are the broadest and boldest we have ever set. We report our progress on these efforts in an annual Responsibility Report and periodic updates on this site that cover our environmental goals, social programs and performance, charitable programs and business performance.

Public Policy and Political Contributions
As a member of the global health care community, we have a responsibility to advance quality health care and work with others to help shape effective health care systems and therefore, we encourage development of sound public policy.
