THE VALUES IN OUR CREDO UNIFY
OUR DIRECTION AND DECISIONS,
HELPING US TOUCH THE LIVES OF MORE
THAN A BILLION PEOPLE EVERY DAY.
Johnson & Johnson is privileged to play a
role in the health and well-being of billions
of people throughout the world. In our
view, the climate and our environment are
also important health care issues. We are
proud of the progress we have made in
collaboration with our partners to improve our
social, environmental and economic impact
and influence – including reducing carbon
emissions, protecting our environment and
conserving our natural resources. And, we are
committed to doing more.
Johnson & Johnson has had an energy
management program in place for over three
decades and since setting our first public
goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
in 2000, we have completed more than 150
energy efficiency and renewable energy
projects on our properties around the globe.
In 2015, I participated in a roundtable with

$POGFSFODFPO$MJNBUF$IBOHF$01
where I shared our goal to tap 20 percent of
our electricity needs from clean or renewable
sources by 2020 and our aspiration to use
100 percent renewable power by 2050.
We understand the value of advancing
these goals and making these investments.
In the past 10 years, our energy and CO2
emissions reduction projects have reduced
both our energy costs and carbon footprint
by approximately 15 percent. We believe
investing in the health of our environment is
investing in the health of the communities
in which we live and work, and the world
community as well.
We understand the important role Johnson &
Johnson plays in the world, and we continue
to build on our 130-year legacy of caring
through strategic philanthropy with hundreds
of partner organizations worldwide. Our
corporate philanthropy includes work with
Operation Smile® – helping to provide safe
surgeries for facial deformities in children;
Save the Children® – providing care to tens
of millions of children around the world in
resource limited and crisis situations, including
long-term support for Syrian refugees; and the
&MJ[BCFUI(MBTFS1FEJBUSJD"*%4'PVOEBUJPO®
– eliminating HIV infections in children around
the world. We also partner with global health
agencies and non-governmental organizations
to battle some of the most deadly epidemics
of our generation, like our commitment and
partnership to rapidly develop a vaccine
for Ebola. Through these commitments, we
envision a world where everyone has the
means to be healthy and can thrive. We are
committed to using our capabilities, expertise,
resources and partnerships to fulfill our role in
making the world a better, healthier place for
generations to come.
JOHNSON & JOHNSON IS
WELL-POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE
Although Our Credo was written over 70
years ago, I cannot imagine a more forward-
looking document to continue guiding our
long-term strategy. Our Credo has long
embodied a strong sense of responsibility
and inspiration. It is a clear measure of
accountability for our long-term success.
WE ARE
COMMITTED
TO USING OUR
CAPABILITIES,
EXPERTISE,
RESOURCES &
PARTNERSHIPS
TO FULFILL OUR
ROLE IN MAKING
THE WORLD
A BETTER,
HEALTHIER
PLACE FOR
GENERATIONS
TO COME.
