to make choices and take actions that are good for the environment.

CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIPS
In addition to the external, more local
partnerships forged by our operating
companies, Johnson & Johnson supports
a number of major environmental organizations.
To name a few, we are a longstanding
supporter of the World Wildlife
Fund, The Conservation Fund, the Trust
for Public Land, The Wilderness Society
and the Harvard Medical School Center
for Health and the Global Environment.
Since 2003, we have supported innovative
“Healthy Communities, Healthy
Ecosystems” projects around the world
with the World Wildlife Fund. We particularly
identify and support projects that
MORE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES
make the connection between environmental
protection and community health.
The Harvard Center advances environmental
education at medical schools to
promote research and awareness of the
impact of global environmental change
on human health. A particular project
we supported will culminate in 2008 with
the highly anticipated publication of a
comprehensive book that highlights how
human health depends on continued
biodiversity. Sustaining Life: How Human
Health Depends on Biodiversity is expected
to be used as a textbook for college
ecology and environmental science
courses, as a resource for environmental
groups working on conservation, and as
a key reference for policymakers.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM CERTIFICATION................
Each facility is required to characterize
and understand its impacts, plan for
emergencies and seek opportunities
for continuous improvement. At the end
of 2007, 100 percent of our operating
and research & development facilities
were third-party certified to the ISO
14001 environmental management
system standard.
FLEET EMISSIONS
The Company’s worldwide automobile
fleet consists of approximately 35,000
owned or leased vehicles used by our
sales and management staff. The operation
of these vehicles accounts for an
estimated 250,000 metric tons of CO 2
emissions from approximately 775 million
miles driven in 2007. At present, we do
not include fleet emissions in our reporting
of worldwide CO 2 emissions because
we do not have the same degree of
precision in this measurement. Ongoing
efforts are in place to improve our
tracking of the CO 2 emissions generated
by our fleet.
Our Healthy Planet 2010 goal is to
reduce total CO 2 emissions per kilometer
driven by 30 percent against a 2003
baseline. Using U.S. based data, this
translates into 150 grams CO 2 per
kilometer (approximately 36.4 miles per
gallon of gasoline). To realize this objective,
we have established minimum fuel
efficiency requirements (by vehicle category)
for the purchase of fleet vehicles.
In addition, we are actively incorporating
hybrid electric cars and ethanolfueled
vehicles in the fleet. As of March
2008, the U.S. fleet had 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.
In 2007, our average U.S. fleet emissions
per distance driven was 218 grams
CO 2 per kilometer (25 mpg), which is
above our 2003 baseline of 214 grams
CO 2 per kilometer (25.5 mpg). We
have seen an improved awareness and
increase in market demand for more
environmentally friendly vehicles over
the past year and we are actively aligning
our vehicle purchasing strategy with
those models as they become available.
FOREST PRODUCTS PURCHASING
In 2006, the Company issued new
Forest Products Purchasing Guidelines
(available on www.jnj.com) that assist our
procurement professionals with making
forest products purchasing decisions
that are consistent with our environmental
goals. The guidelines include understanding
the source of purchased forest
products and verifying the legality of
high-risk sources. As a large, multinational
business, we know Johnson & Johnson
and its operating companies are positioned
to make paper and packaging
procurement decisions that could help
influence responsible forest management.
We are a member of the North America
Forest & Trade Network (NAFTN) and the
Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN).
