Our Credo: Our Guiding Philosophy The overarching philosophy that guides our business is Our Credo, a deeply held set of values that have served as the strategic and moral compass for generations of Johnson & Johnson leaders and employees. Above all, Our Credo challenges us to put the needs and well-being of the people we serve first. It also speaks to the responsibilities we have to our employees, to the communities in which we live and work and the world community, and to our shareholders. We believe Our Credo is a blueprint for long-term growth and sustainability that’s as relevant today as when it was written Our Credo Values Broadly Based in Human Health Being broadly based gives us a number of advantages. Our more than 250 operating companies have a local window into emerging customer needs, scientific developments, and technologies throughout the world. We turn those insights into innovative new products and sometimes whole new businesses. It allows us to transfer scientific breakthroughs, marketing insights and manufacturing expertise easily across the full range of our businesses. This broad base has helped us bring more science to the consumer health products that people use every day.

Each of our operating companies functions as its own small business. They are strongly entrepreneurial in character, and they know that their success depends on anticipating customers’ needs and delivering meaningful, high-quality solutions. While our people operate in a small-company setting, they also have access to the know-how and resources of a Fortune 50 company. It’s like having dozens of strategic partners at their fingertips.

We invest in promising new businesses while maintaining leadership positions in high growth businesses. We are focused on sustainability, and constantly review key economic, environmental, and employee health and safety indicators to ensure we are on the right path.
