Greener Boxes, Bottles and Buildings Johnson & Johnson and its operating companies are using clean

energy around the world, reducing harmful carbon dioxide emissions and making environmentally friendlier packaging. Climate change is already impacting human health, says Dennis Canavan, Senior Director, Global Energy and Worldwide Environment, Health & Safety. We need to do this for our children. A Greener Box When Renato Wakimoto reads to his 4-year-old daughter before bed, they like to point to pictures of her favorite birds in the rainforest. We shouldnt destroy the forest, he tells Natalia. As Johnson & Johnson Group of Consumer Companies packaging director for Latin America, Renato puts his beliefs to work. Starting in 2007, the BAND-AID Brand Adhesive Bandages box is made with materials certified by the international Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), assuring that the trees used come from responsibly managed forests. Some people think paper products in Brazil come from the Amazon. We are not using old-growth trees, he says of the box, which began to carry the FSC logo in 2008. From producing better boxes and bottles to generating solar energy, and using more than 2,000 hybrid vehicles, working in buildings powered with clean energy, Johnson & Johnson companies are taking steps to reduce their environmental impact. Clean Energy In 2007, Johnson & Johnson cut the ribbon on its ninth and largest solar facility, in Vacaville, California. More than 5,700 ground-mounted solar panels span six and a half acres. With the sun shining, the solar field provides up to a third of the electrical power needed to run the site, and will reduce CO2 emissions for the manufacturing facility by five percent. In all: Our companies achieved a 9 percent absolute reduction in CO2 emissions from 1990 to 2008, meeting the goal of a 7 percent absolute reduction by 2010. In the same period, sales grew 400 percent. In 2008, Johnson & Johnson was named the second largest corporate user of on-site solar power in the United States by World Resources Institute. Johnson & Johnson was recognized in 2008 by Automotive Fleet magazine as the No. 1 commercial hybrid fleet in the U.S. Reducing Waste Johnson & Johnson is also improving its packaging. In 2007, PVC, polyvinyl chloride, was eliminated from most consumer packaging. Also in 2007, the AVEENO POSITIVELY AGELESS and JOHNSONS SOOTHING NATURALS lines added 30 percent post-consumer recycled material to their high-density polyethylene bottles. Sustainability is a process, says Michael Maggio, Vice President, Johnson & Johnson Group of Consumer Companies, Global Strategic Design Operations. We start with small steps and then improve as we go. These steps circle back to Brazil, where 77 percent of material from the 17-building manufacturing facility in So Jos dos Campos gets recycled. The recycling center sorts almost 9,000 tons of material a year and sells it to companies that turn unapproved shampoo bottles into toys and diapers into car brakes. Every one of these steps contributes to a healthier planet, Renato says.

Company Overview Johnson & Johnson's commitment to innovative health care products has resulted in consistent financial performance. The Company has 28 consecutive years of adjusted earnings increases and 49 consecutive years of dividend increases. Johnson & Johnson, through its family of companies, employs approximately 118,000 people worldwide and is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field in many countries of the world. Johnson & Johnson's primary interest, both historically and currently, has been in products related to health and well-being. Johnson & Johnson was organized in the State of New Jersey in 1886. Johnson & Johnson is organized on the principles of decentralized management. The Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson is the principal management group responsible for the strategic operations and allocation of resources of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. Johnson & Johnson's operating companies are organized into three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. A Group Operating Committee, composed of managers who represent key operations within the segment, as well as management in specialized functional departments, oversees and coordinates the activities of domestic and international companies related to each of the business segments. However, in line with the principle of decentralized management, senior management groups at U.S. and international operating companies are each responsible for their own strategic plans, as well as the day-to-day operations of those companies, and each international company is, with some exceptions, managed by citizens of the country where it is located.
