dioxide emissions by an average of
seven million metric tons per year.

Left: Dedicated in October 2005,
the 505-kilowatt solar tracking system
at Johnson & Johnson Consumer
Companies, Inc., in Skillman, New Jersey,
is one of the largest ground-mounted
solar energy systems in North America.
Covering almost three acres, the
photovoltaic modules follow the sun
from early morning to late afternoon,
converting sunlight directly into
electricity for use by the facility. The
resulting reduction in carbon dioxide
emissions is equivalent to removing
approximately 1,400 cars from New
Jersey’s roadways.
Above: In California’s Silicon Valley,
ALZA Corporation has partnered with
the city of Mountain View to purchase
methane gas from a municipal land-
fill. The gas will serve as fuel for a
cogeneration system, providing the
ALZA campus with more than half of
its energy requirements. Over the
first 10 years of the project, this will
be equivalent to powering about
1,900 homes and reducing carbon
hands-on assistance to victims. Johnson & Johnson and
its companies matched the donations of their employees
to such relief groups as the American Red Cross, America’s
Second Harvest and Habitat for Humanity.
Commitment to environmental excellence and global sustainable
development is reflected in the efforts of Johnson & Johnson
companies to improve energy efficiency and harness
renewable resources. Since 2000, Tasmanian Alkaloids
Pty. Ltd., producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients,
has worked with a third party in Australia to use more
than 5,000 tons of poppy seed “waste” as a renewable
fossil fuel substitute each year. In addition to reducing
carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 60,000 tons between
2000 and 2004, the project has diverted more than 26,000
tons of waste from local landfills.
Field sales associates and other employees who use company
vehicles participate in a comprehensive safety training and
awareness program developed in-house. Since the pro-
gram’s inception in 1994 the fleet has grown by more than
40 percent. Over the same period, the rate of accidents
per million miles driven has been reduced by more than
40 percent. As a testament to the efficacy and success
of the program, more than 25 major corporations around
the world have adopted the Johnson & Johnson Fleet
Safety system.
Johnson & Johnson also established a target of
reducing emissions per kilometer driven by 30 percent
between 2003 and 2010 for its global automobile fleet.
To reach this goal, the companies are using more
fuel-efficient vehicles and alternate fuels when they are
available. By year-end 2006, it is expected that approxi-
mately 600 hybrid electric vehicles will be on the road,
with an additional 1,000 on order.
