Our UK ambition
Through our local community impact strategy and efforts, we aim to create sustainable and lasting impact by addressing specific healthcare and societal challenges in the UK. We do this by investing in strategic partnerships and programmes and by empowering our employees to apply their talent for good to support NGOs and organisations with their time, skills and expertise. We want to create lasting impact in the local communities in which we live and work; supporting those at the front line of health care and reducing health inequity.
Talent for good: How we personally get involved
Talent for Good aims to activate Johnson & Johnson employees at all stages of their career to make a meaningful and enduring impact on society while enhancing their skills and expertise and pursuing their passions. Talent for Good empowers employees to grow personally and professionally by volunteering their time, skills and resources to support local and national partner organisations and help build healthier communities. All Johnson & Johnson employees in the UK can use up to 5 working days per year to donate their time to a volunteering activity.
Supplier diversity
The Johnson & Johnson Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Programme has a track record of advancing supplier diversity around the world. We believe our suppliers should be representative of the consumers and patients we serve. We know that spend with diverse suppliers can have a significant economic impact in the communities in which we live and work by stimulating the economy. In the UK, we are taking a lead role in partnering with social enterprises to bring value. We are one of seven founding partners of the Buy Social Corporate Challenge in the UK, an initiative to promote the use of Social Enterprises in corporate supply chains. In addition, we support minority-owned and women owned businesses as part of our UK programme.
