Sustainability
We invite our suppliers to work alongside us to create a multiplier effect in communities across the globe. Our award-winning Supplier Sustainability Program is key to this effort, helping to drive continuous improvements in reducing environmental impact and improving human rights.
Supplier responsibilities
We recognize that, to create impact at scale, we must be clear about our requirements and help our suppliers incorporate sustainable practices into their business. We verify and monitor supplier compliance with our Responsibility Standards for Suppliers through formal assessment and audits.
EcoVadis
EcoVadis provides business sustainability ratings, intelligence and collaborative performance improvement tools for global supply chains. Suppliers in Johnson & Johnson’s Supplier Sustainability Program are required to complete an EcoVadis assessment and work on continual improvements to ensure they uphold our Responsibility Standards for Suppliers.
CDP
CDP is a not-for-profit organization that supports thousands of companies, cities, states and regions to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and deforestation. Johnson & Johnson discloses to CDP and requests certain suppliers do the same.
Human rights
Our Human Rights in the Supply Base program was established to monitor human rights compliance throughout our supplier base. We regularly assess our suppliers on fair working conditions, and we work with them to uphold the human rights chapter of our Responsibility Standards for Suppliers.
Partnerships for good
A Partnership for Good is a collaboration between Johnson & Johnson and a supplier to create innovative solutions that drive significant environmental, social and economic improvements. Partnership for Good projects are directly tied to Johnson & Johnson’s sustainability priorities.
