Our Code of Business of Conduct

In January 2020, Janssen scientists immediately mobilized to begin researching and developing a COVID-19 vaccine for use globally that earned Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and several other health authorities in the early spring of 2021. Today, millions of doses have been administered around the world.

Johnson & Johnson understands that climate health can affect human health. In fact, we’re seeing climate change impact health in new ways by changing infectious disease patterns and increasing the risk of drought and food insecurity. We have taken sustained, long-term action to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and we are encouraging our suppliers to do the same. We also support responsible climate and energy policy around the world.

Our Approach to Climate Action

Every day, we work to put people first—from proactive and transparent medical safety surveillance to groundbreaking real-world evidence applications, pediatric clinical research advancements, early access innovation and more. … Johnson & Johnson’s OCMO is constantly reviewing, monitoring and making decisions regarding the safety of our products through people-driven processes, initiatives and policies that are reinforced by a single medical safety standard, to which all our products are held.

As stated in Our Credo, everything we do must be of high quality. It is our first responsibility to people around the world who use and trust Johnson & Johnson products. Every employee of Our Company proudly accepts this responsibility every day.

Position on Quality and Compliance

Sustainability both protects our business from risks—such as climate change risk, reputational risk and more—and furnishes us with opportunities to engage more deeply with those impacted by our business and, therefore, understand how we may better meet their expectations and needs. In this way, we are better equipped to allocate resources to deliver the health solutions the world needs most.
