Johnson & Johnson is a large multinational organization, operating in a wide variety of ecosystems of variable health around the world. To minimize the impact of our operations, we set global environmental, health and safety standards for our operating companies. Our Worldwide Environment Health and Safety (WWEHS) Policy, Climate Friendly Energy Policy, and statements on the Human Right to Water and Respecting Biodiversity guide our activities and are made actionable through our detailed WWEHS standards and our long-term Healthy Future 2015 goals.
Johnson & Johnson has been setting environmental goals since 1987. That first goal focused on reducing toxic emissions. Our first set of long-term, broad-based goals included Pollution Prevention Goals (1993-2000), Next Generation Goals (2000-2005) and Healthy Planet 2010 Goals (2005-2010). In 2007, we added Safe People goals and Healthy People goals.
Our newest set of goals, known as Healthy Future 2015 are our most comprehensive to date, setting 29 corporate citizenship and sustainability commitments across seven key strategic priorities. Goal progress is tracked by the Johnson & Johnson Sustainability Workgroup, and performance is reported to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors
