The environment is the ultimate human health issue. As the worlds

largest health care company, Johnson & Johnson recognizes the critical

interdependence between human health and the health of our planet.

We believe a healthy planet and a healthy community go hand in hand.

Thats why we are committed to reducing our environmental impacts

across all aspects of our operations striving for performance that does

not merely comply with regulations but protects and nurtures the

planets beauty and resources for future generations. Guided by Our

Credo, this vision is driven by our long-term environmental goals,

policies and performance standards. Our commitment is supported by a

comprehensive environmental management structure, a system of

certification and assessment processes, and company-wide

accountability for progress against our goals.

Protecting the environment

Our purpose is to improve the health and well-being of families everywhere.To fulfill this goal, we must protect the environments in which we work and

live. A healthy planet and a healthy community go hand in hand.

We set high standards for our operating companies in the area of

environmental responsibility striving for performance that does not merely

comply with regulations but reduces our environmental impacts. We have a

responsibility to take care of our planet and preserve its beauty, resources

and strength for future generations.

HEALTHY FUTURE 2015

Safeguarding the Planet is our legacy

We have long recognized the need to sustain natural resources and

care for the planet. In 1987, Johnson & Johnson established our first

environmental goal, aimed at reducing toxic emissions. We have since

set a series of long-term goals across a range of environmental

impacts, measured our progress and met nearly all these goals. With

the launch of Healthy Future 2015, we have defi ned our priorities for

the next fi ve years, added goals in new areas and reaffi rmed ourcommitment to safeguard the planet.

GOAL

of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. The

4.1 megawatt array of 13,496 solar panels, which track the sun from

east to west, is estimated to generate enough energy to provide 70

percent of the sites annual electricity needs, or roughly the amount

needed to power 600 homes annually. In addition to the Titusville site,Johnson & Johnson has solar power systems planned or completed at

20 sites worldwide,which together represent an installed capacity of

about 13 megawatts, roughly the amount needed to power nearly

2,000 homes annually. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) Green Power Partnership lists the company as the nations

seventh largest purchaser of renewable energy. Johnson & Johnson has

received six Green Power Leadership Awards from the EPA and

Department of Energy since 2002.

SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES

These charts represent a sampling of the sustainability programs of

Johnson & Johnson and its operating companies.

Our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reporting follows the Greenhouse

Gas Inventory protocol developed by the World Resources Institute and

the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. The protocol

requires that we recalculate historical emissions to reflect acquisitions,

divestitures and mergers, so all data shown on the chart represents

emissions from the same business entities over time. This chart does

not reflect CO2 emissions or sales resulting from the acquisition of

Pfizer Consumer Healthcare.

HEALTHY PEOPLE, HEALTHY LAND

Our Healthy Communities, Healthy Ecosystems partnership with the

World Wildlife Fund (WWF) links healthy environment and the health of

local people. Supporting the health of local communities enables

these communities to sustainably manage the natural resources base

on which they depend, said Katarina Trojnar, corporate relations

officer at WWF.

In many remote places where WWF works, few other organizations are

present, making the WWFs work vital for building awareness of the

links between a healthy environment and the health of the people who

live there. Since 2003, we have supported innovative Healthy

Communities, Healthy Ecosystems projects in ecoregions of the East

Africa, the Congo Basin, and the Eastern Himalayas.

Collaborating in KenyaThe East Africa Marine Ecoregion stretches several hundred miles and

is home to a great diversity of plant and animal life, including some of

the most diverse coral communities in the world. Native villagers live

off the land.

One example of our partnership takes place in Kenyas Kiunga Marine

National Reserve where WWF works to promote health interventions

and improved and expanded health resources, including supporting

efforts in reproductive health, family planning, HIV/AIDS,

immunizations, preventive care, safe drinking water, and sanitation.

The reserve contains coral reefs, sea grass meadows, and mangrove

forests that act as a refuge for marine wildlife. Reserve resources are

threatened, and a further increase in population under current

conditions will make matters worse.

Progress in the Last Year

Over the last year, our partnership with WWF has made significant

9


10/17

advances in promoting environmental conservation by improving

human health. For example, a dispensary clinic for communities in the

reserve was constructed to help improve community health and

encourage local participation in natural resource management. The

dispensary also provides safe drinking water in the reserves mainvillages. Additionally, residents are learning about family planning

options from newly trained health care workers from the Ministry of

Health and Family Health International. Mobile clinics are reaching

villages that have no access to quality health care, and people are

receiving prenatal and postnatal care, immunizations, nutritional

counseling and education about environmental health and

conservation efforts.

Our Healthy Planet

We aspire to be the most environmentally responsible company in the world. Our HealthyPlanet 2010 goals have served as a roadmap to help us get there.

Every five years, the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies sets new long-term goalsthat help us reduce our environmental footprint. In 2006, we introduced: Healthy Planet2010. Like our previous goals, these were ambitious. In developing them, we soughtcounsel from many stakeholders, including government officials, environmental groups,other companies and academic thought leaders. We are confident that our Healthy Planet2010 goals have helped safeguard the health of our planet.

Healthy Planet 2010 includes

Energy UseCarbon Dioxide Reduction

Water Use

Paper and Packaging

Waste Reduction

Product Stewardship

Environmental Literacy

Transparency

All our environmental accomplishments reinforce our commitment to Our Credo, whichstates that we must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use,

protecting the environment and natural resources.

In addition, our environmental improvement projects consistently result in more efficient

manufacturing processes, increased product yields and cost savings.

J & J Environmental partnerships

Partnerships allow us to do more than we ever could on our own.

Ecosystems are fragile. And if we do not protect them, our food

supplies, opportunities for recreation and tourism, and potential

sources of medicines and energy supplies will be jeopardized.
