Johnson & Johnson named a 2026 Fortune World’s Most Admired Company

The company made the prestigious list for the 24th consecutive year, thanks to its dedication to innovation and social responsibility, among other criteria.

A commitment to tackling the world’s toughest health challenges—from cancer to cardiology, mental health to vision, and immunology to robotics—is at the heart of everything Johnson & Johnson does. Once again the company is being recognized for this work, landing a spot on Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies list for the 24th year in a row. Johnson & Johnson ranks #29 among this year’s Top 50 All-Stars, a subset of the list highlighting the most admired companies across all industries.

What it takes to be a Most Admired Company

To compile the overall ranking, Fortune collaborated with Korn Ferry, the global consulting firm that has conducted the research for the World’s Most Admired Companies list since 1997. Executives, directors and analysts in 51 industries were asked to rate the reputation of enterprises in their respective sectors based on a mix of nine qualities: from investment value and social responsibility to excellence in leadership and ability to attract talent.

Johnson & Johnson excels in those areas—and more.

Survey respondents helped select the 50 All-Stars by choosing the 10 companies they admire most, from a list of companies that ranked in the top 25% on last year’s survey and in the top 20% of their industry.

A focus on health and care

Every day, Johnson & Johnson’s more than 130,000 employees are building a world where complex diseases are prevented and cured, treatments are smarter and less invasive—and solutions are personal. With expertise in Innovative Medicine and MedTech, the company works to impact health in a way that only Johnson & Johnson can. While it continues to evolve, the company’s core values haven’t changed: Johnson & Johnson’s mission statement, Our Credo, continues to guide the company’s path into the future, as it delivers on its longstanding commitment to providing solutions for patients across the globe.

Johnson & Johnson is honored to once again be among Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies.
