About Our Charitable Contributions
The greatest gifts a company can give to its community are its time, talents and
resources to make long-term, meaningful difference in people’s lives. This is especially
so for a health care company like Johnson & Johnson, which has the ability to address,
through community engagement, the world’s major health-related issues. The Company
works together with key community-based partners that have the greatest insight into
the needs of local populations and the strategies that stand the greatest chances of
success. Over the years, Johnson & Johnson has continued to grow and learn from its
philanthropic partners the best ways to address the needs of communities throughout
the world. Below are some of the many ways we engage with our communities.

REDUCING INFANT
MORTALITY IN CHINA
Total Giving as a Percent of
Worldwide Pretax Income
Every year in China, as many as 125,000
babies die from neonatal asphyxia (the
inability to breathe at birth). Of the ones
that do survive, developmental disabilities
are not uncommon. In response to this
crisis, the Johnson & Johnson Pediatric
Institute, LLC, partnered with the
Chinese Ministry of Health, American
Academy of Pediatrics, Chinese Society
of Perinatal Medicine, and the Chinese
Nursing Society to form a national
neonatal resuscitation Program (NRP)
titled Freedom of Breath, Fountain of
Life. The NRP’s mission is to reduce
infant mortality through educational
intervention by providing training to
health care professionals in China on
neonatal resuscitation techniques to
reduce infant mortality during childbirth.
Over 27,000 professionals have been

by 2010. These professionals will train
thousands more, as the program works
toward its goal.
INTRODUCING HEALTH CAREERS
TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS......
Since 1992, the Johnson & Johnson
Bridge to Employment Program (BTE)
has engaged communities and Company
employees in meaningful, ongoing
dialogue with high school students on a
variety of educational and career-oriented
topics. BTE provides mentoring, educational
development and job shadowing
opportunities to students in the U.S.
as well as Puerto Rico, Colombia, Ireland
and Scotland. Thousands of students
have benefited. The program helps
young people build solid futures by
introducing them to a broad array of
careers in health care and providing
them with real-world experiences. The
Company partners with the Academy for
Educational Development and multiple
local businesses, educators, parents
and community-based organizations
in BTE cities. For example, in 2005,
Johnson & Johnson and three of its
affiliate companies formed a partnership
with institutions and parents in Cork City,
Ireland to develop a core curriculum
focused on career-minded subjects and
positive mentoring experiences for 160
students. During the Cork program’s
first two years, students have participated
in high school exit exam preparation
seminars, all-day university tours, and
on-site tours at DePuy (Ireland) Limited,
Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, and
Centocor Biologics (Ireland) Limited.
IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH
THROUGH IMPROVED WATER QUALITY
Working through the Penn State
University chapter of Engineers Without
Borders, Johnson & Johnson and its
affiliate company Centocor, Inc. helped
finance the design and building of a sustainable
water distribution system and
sanitation program that will dramatically
improve the quality of life and health
of the residents of Kob, Cameroon.
Without a sufficient supply of water,
the community had suffered from poor
sanitation and a multitude of waterborne
diseases, many of which affected
their children. The project has provided
spring protection and distribution lines
to deliver clean water to the village.
