OUR CREDO
We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to mothers 12 and fathers and all others who use our products and services. In meeting their needs everything we do must be of high quality. We must constantly strive to reduce our costs in order to maintain reasonable prices. Customers’ orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our suppliers and distributors must have an opportunity to make a fair profit.
We are responsible to our employees, the men and women who work with us throughout the world. Everyone must be considered as an individual. We must respect their dignity and recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security in their jobs. Compensation must be fair and adequate, and working conditions clean, orderly and safe. We must be mindful of ways to help our employees fulfill their family responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for employment, development and advancement for those qualified. We must provide competent management, and their actions must be just and ethical.
We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the world community as well. We must be good citizens—support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We must encourage civic improvements and better health and education. We must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.
Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas. Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed and mistakes paid for. New equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for adverse times. When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a fair return.

SAVING & IMPROVING LIVES Coping in the Aftermath
ouchun Jia, a psychological therapist on the Huaxi Psychological Rehabilitation Service team, has been working with her 10 colleagues, Yincluding her husband, in Beichuan for several months since the devastating earthquake that struck Sichuan Province in China in May 2008. The disaster killed more than 80,000 people, injuring hundreds of thousands more. “The immediate rescue for people after the disaster only lasted for weeks, but it will take much longer time to cure people’s psychological damages,” says Youchun. “It’s hard to find a complete family here. Almost every family has lost their beloved ones, and for many people they are the only ones who survived. The invisible wound has now become quite critical, especially areas.

We need to continue our work as there are still many children waiting for our help.” The program will expand into seven other areas in Sichuan in 2009. “We know there is still a long way to go in the relief and rebuilding process,” says Michelle Liu, chair of the Johnson & Johnson China Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. “Through partnership with agencies such as the MOH and Huaxi Hospital, the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies will continue to strive to improve the health and psychological wellness of children in the disaster areas.”

SAVING & IMPROVING LIVES For Safety’s Sake
ccidental injuries are the leading cause A of death of children and teenagers. A simple safety measure, such as child resistant components on lighters, can prevent thousands of childhood injuries and save lives. The European Union banned all non-child resistant lighters thanks to the efforts of the European Child Safety Alliance (ECSA) and other key partners. During the past nine years, ECSA has been working in partnership with the European Commission, the Consumer Safety Institute in the Netherlands, and Johnson & Johnson to address child safety issues. Support from Johnson & Johnson has enabled programs such as the European Home Safety Campaign, which led to the ban on non-child resistant lighters. The campaign also addresses other safety issues in the home, such as falls, burns, and scalds. “Johnson & Johnson was a partner from day one,” says Joanne Vincenten, director of ECSA. “They helped us shape our strategic plan and refine our goals and purpose.” ECSA works to influence key decision makers and leaders at the European and national level to encourage healthy public policies and funding for child injury prevention. Member countries in this cross-cultural network share resources and develop partnerships that jointly advocate to improve child safety. “When the European Child Safety Alliance began in 2000, we had eight member countries in the alliance,” says Joanne. “Today, we work with 30 European countries and serve as expert ROAD SAFETY A mother in Überlingen, Germany, buckles her child advisors on issues of child safety to the European Commission, into a car seat following a child safety demonstration by the ECSA.

PREVENTING DISEASES & REDUCING STIGMA Soccer, An Agent of Change
n many parts of the world, community sports programs are instruments of change for young people. In Namibia, soccer, one of the most popular Isports in the country, has been the instru- ment of choice for inspiring this change in more ways than one. Stephanus Kaishungu was not looked upon as the best student in school and had very little knowledge about HIV prevention. However, through involvement with the Nawa Sport Program and with guidance from his coach, Mario Alberto, Stephanus has turned his life around. “Upon joining the program, he started changing little by little,” says Mario. “Today he is a team captain, full of social responsibilities, including community outreach work.” Launched in 2008, the Nawa Sport program is a collabora- tion between the Academy for Educational Development (AED) and Johnson & Johnson, in partnership with NawaLife Trust.

Peace in Mind in Korea Bouquet of Voices in Japan
Every three months, employees from Janssen-Cilag Korea spend an entire Saturday interacting with people suffering from mental diseases as part of Peace in Mind, an employee volunteerism program launched by the company in 2002. The goal is to raise community awareness of mental diseases, reduce stigma, and reintegrate people with the disease back into the community. Employees volunteer their time and money on various community projects – including quarterly community-based events, a photo sharing network, and charity concerts – to work toward these goals. Peace in Mind has reached more than 400 patients and conducted 27 community-based events over the past seven years. “But the number is not that important,” says Sungha Jun, the program’s coordinator. “The most meaningful part is that Janssen’s employees and the patients have developed strong and long-term relationships, which have meant better help for the patients and more community efforts to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.” A Johnson & Johnson Japan employee volunteerism program called “Bouquet of Voices” offers a service that breaks down barriers hampering visually impaired people in Japan from going online. The program, co-initiated by the Japan Philanthropic Association and the Johnson & Johnson Japan Contributions Committee, fulfills voice book recording requests and then posts the edited record- ings on Koe no Hanataba, a popular Web site for the visually impaired.

OUR CREDO
We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to mothers 12 and fathers and all others who use our products and services. In meeting their needs everything we do must be of high quality. We must constantly strive to reduce our costs in order to maintain reasonable prices. Customers’ orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our suppliers and distributors must have an opportunity to make a fair profit.
We are responsible to our employees, the men and women who work with us throughout the world. Everyone must be considered as an individual. We must respect their dignity and recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security in their jobs. Compensation must be fair and adequate, and working conditions clean, orderly and safe. We must be mindful of ways to help our employees fulfill their family responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for employment, development and advancement for those qualified. We must provide competent management, and their actions must be just and ethical.
We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the world community as well. We must be good citizens—support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We must encourage civic improvements and better health and education. We must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.
Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas. Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed and mistakes paid for. New equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for adverse times. When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a fair return.
