Our commitment to women
Johnson & Johnson has been championing women and all employees to thrive at work and at home since our founding more than 138 years ago.
We believe women can be catalysts for creating healthier people, healthier communities and a healthier world.
Women are innovators meeting today’s challenges and inventing tomorrow’s solutions. They are scientists and technologists. They are caregivers, mentors, mothers and innovators. They are anchors within their families, leaders in our business and drivers of the global economy.
Caring for women in our global community will fuel the future of human health for all.
