About Our Environmental Practices
These organizations helped us understand
current threats to our forests and
the varying ways we can protect them.
Under Healthy Planet 2010, we have
set goals for 90 percent of our office
paper and 75 percent of our paper-based
packaging to contain greater than
30 percent post-consumer recycled
content or contain fiber from certified
forests by 2010. These targets were set
after careful consideration of industry
benchmarks, our 2005 baseline data
and the opportunities for improvement
in our current supply chain. Our
2007 results are summarized below:

GOALS, HEALTHY PLANET 2010
Enterprise-wide environmental goals are
established every five years. In 2005,
we initiated our newest set of goals, the
Healthy Planet 2010 Goals. These were
developed using a stakeholder engagement
process that included governmental
representatives, non-governmental
organizations, other companies, academic
institutions and our employees at all
levels. Goals have been set for biodiversity,
compliance, energy use (carbon
dioxide reduction), environmental
literacy, external manufacturing, paper
and packaging, product stewardship,
transparency, waste reduction and water
use. Each of these goals is discussed under
their individual headings in this report.
OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES
Johnson & Johnson has previously
committed to comply with the “Montreal
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the
Ozone Layer.”Our operating companies
completed the accelerated elimination
of halons in fire suppression systems
and the use of chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) in HVAC/refrigeration equipment.
In September 2007, representatives
of 191 countries met in Montreal and
agreed to accelerate the phase-out of
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) with
developed countries agreeing to reduce
production and consumption 10 years
earlier than previously promised, with
final phase-out in 2020. Europe is accelerating
this schedule by implementing
a complete HCFC phase-out by 2015.
Johnson & Johnson has committed to
the accelerated removal of HCFCs by
2015 from HVAC/refrigeration equipment
greater than 5 tons in cooling capacity.
We have plans to incorporate available
alternatives and ensure no new CFC- or
HCFC-containing equipment is purchased.
PACKAGING
Johnson & Johnson has been minimizing
packaging use for more than 10 years.
We have made strides to reduce the
size of our packaging, the weight of our
packaging and the recyclability of our
packaging. We have also considered how
our choice of packaging material affects

the environment. There will always be a
balance between the environmental concerns
about packaging and the concurrent
needs for product safety and product
information. At Johnson & Johnson, our
first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses,
and patients who use our products.
In meeting their needs, everything
we do must be of high quality. But, an
ever-increasing number of our customers
are making product choices based on
less packaging and the recyclability of
that packaging.
In 2005, our Consumer Group of
Companies created a global strategic
design office, reporting directly to the
Worldwide Group Chairman, to incorporate
environmental sustainability and
innovative design throughout great
Consumer brands like JOHNSON’S ® ,
BAND-AID ® and NEUTROGENA ® . An internal
decision-making tool was created to
guide responsible packaging design and
the purchase of packaging materials. It
is applied during new product launches,
repackaging projects, line extensions and
sampling programs. Our over-arching
vision is to minimize the environmental
impacts of our packaging while still
maintaining functional, aesthetic and
quality attributes for our consumers.
We see sustainable packaging as a
journey with many different considerations,
pathways and incremental changes.
A few of the specific accomplishments
from the Consumer Group in 2007 were
incorporating post-consumer high-density
polyethylene recycled content into the
