Description of Action:
At Janssen, our purpose is to help people lead healthier, happier lives. To create a healthier future, we see an opportunity to create impact by connecting sustainability to our core business. Each of our products has an environmental footprint based on a number of factors, including energy, materials and water used in production, as well as the waste generated. Our top scientists apply innovation to create new efficiencies and design processes. Though this may initially require substantial capital and time investments, in the long term, it allows us to more effectively manage our environmental impact at every stage of the product lifecycle—from sourcing and formulation, to manufacturing, use and disposal. Using Johnson & Johnson’s Earthwards® approach and investing in green chemistry and technology, we strive to reach our enterprise-wide commitment to design and manufacture medicines in the most sustainable way we can.
