Environmental sustainability
At Johnson & Johnson, we know that healthy people need a healthy planet.
Everything we do is guided by
Our Credo, which includes our commitment to “maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.”
Our long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability is also inspired by our Company’s purpose to profoundly impact health for humanity. According to the World Health Organization, “climate change presents a fundamental threat to human health.”
That’s why, to support a healthy environment and the resilience of our business, we are taking action to improve the environmental footprint of our operations, our value chain and our product portfolio, while also partnering with others to advance sustainable healthcare.

Partnering to advance sustainable healthcare

At Johnson & Johnson, we care for the planet like our collective health depends on it … because it does.
