construction in Limerick, Ireland, and at a recently
constructed biotechnology facility in Cork, Ireland we are
installing the capability to use wood pellets as boiler fuel.
We are also working to improve the efficiency of the fleet
of automobiles that we operate worldwide. According to a
study conducted by Automotive Fleet magazine in October
2007, Johnson & Johnson has the largest corporate fleet of
hybrids in the U.S. As of March 2008, we have 978 hybrids
on the road and 508 more on order. Our target is to have
1,600 hybrids on the road by the end of 2008.

Q: GHG ‘footprint’ relative to some other industries.
So, why has Johnson & Johnson taken such a leading
stance on climate change?
CANAVAN: According to the United Nations Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, global GHG emissions from
human activity were 49.0 billion metric tons in 2004 (Fourth
Assessment Report, Climate Change 2007: Synthesis Report,
Summary for Policymakers). In 2007, our operating companies
emitted less than one million metric tons of CO 2 to the
atmosphere from the use of fuel and electricity at our facilities
around the world. While our emissions are a relatively small
part of the total, it will take the collective action of many to
prevent the adverse consequences and costs of climate change.
We believe we have a responsibility in this area, even if the
impact of our efforts alone may seem insignificant compared
to the magnitude of the challenge we face. In addition to
fulfilling our social responsibility, the investments we have made
to reduce CO 2 emissions have returned good value to the
Company. In the last three years, through our CO 2 Reduction
Projects Funding Process, we have committed $97 million for
the construction of forty-nine projects, many of which are
already complete. In addition to reducing CO 2 emissions by
88,000 tons per year, these projects collectively will provide
an Internal Rate of Return of 16.3 percent. Smart energy
choices are good for the planet, and good for business. �
