HISTORY OF THE COMPANY:
One of America's most admired companies, Johnson & Johnson (J & J) is one of the largest healthcare firms in the world and one of the most diversified. Its operations are organized into three business segments: pharmaceutical, which generates 39 percent of revenues and 61 percent of operating income; professional, which accounts for 36 percent of revenues and 27 percent of operating income; and consumer, which contributes 25 percent of revenues and 12 percent of operating income. J & J's pharmaceutical products--which are sold under such brands as Janssen Pharmaceutica, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, and Centocor--include drugs for family planning, mental illness, gastroenterology, oncology, pain management, and other areas. The professional segment includes surgical and patient care equipment and devices, diagnostic products, joint replacements, and disposable contact lenses. The company's well-known line of consumer products includes the Johnson's baby care line, the Neutrogena skin and hair care line, Tylenol and Motrin pain relievers, o.b. and Stayfree feminine hygiene products, the Reach oral care line, Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages, Imodium A-D diarrhea treatment, Mylanta gastrointestinal products, and Pepcid AC acid controller. J & J generates about half of its revenues outside the United States, through its network of 190 operating companies in 51 countries and its marketing organization that sells in more than 175 countries.
Johnson & Johnson was founded more than 120 years ago on a revolutionary idea: Doctors and nurses should use sterile sutures, dressings and bandages to treat peoples’ wounds. Since then, the company brought the world new ideas and products that have transformed human health and well-being. Every invention, every product, every breakthrough has been powered by generations of employees who are inspired to make a difference.

Strategic Planning:
Executive management of Johnson & Johnson, with the support and approval of the Board of Directors, has set the fundamental strategic direction of the Company to remain a broadly-based human health care company for the consumer, pharmaceutical and medical device and diagnostics markets. Strategic planning is guided by the ethical principles embodied in Our Credo, unifying our people worldwide behind a set of common values and providing a constant reminder of the Company's responsibilities to all of its constituents.
With over 250 operating companies located in 57 countries throughout the world, Johnson & Johnson is organized on the principle of decentralized management. Each international company is, with some exceptions, managed by citizens of the country where it is located. Senior management groups at U.S. and international operating companies are each responsible for their own strategic plans.
On an on-going basis throughout the year, at meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board, management of the Company and Board members discuss the strategic direction and major developments of the Company's various businesses. The process is an interactive/on-going dialogue which provides the Directors with insight into the activities and direction of the Company's businesses.
Quality policy and certification:
One of the Best ISO 14001 Certified Companies
The Brazil Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism recognized our commitment to environmental protection and named Johnson & Johnson as one of the best ISO 14001 certified companies.
They aspire to be the most environmentally responsible company in the world. Their Healthy Planet 2010 goals serve as a roadmap to help us get there.
Every five years, the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies sets new long-term goals that help us reduce our environmental footprint. In 2006, they introduced their newest goals: Healthy Planet 2010. Like our previous goals, these are ambitious. In developing them, we sought counsel from many stakeholders, including government officials, environmental groups, other companies and academic thought leaders. They are confident that our Healthy Planet 2010 goals will help safeguard the health of our planet.
Healthy Planet 2010 Goal Categories
• Energy Use—Carbon Dioxide Reduction
• Water Use
• Paper and Packaging
• Waste Reduction
• Product Stewardship
• Environmental Literacy
• Transparency
• Biodiversity
• Compliance
• External Manufacturing
A Measurable Difference
they first began setting environmental goals in 1990. Since then, they have reduced waste, water and energy use, raw material and packaging. Nearly all of their manufacturing sites and research and development facilities have ISO 14001 certification, a standard for strong environmental management systems.
All their environmental accomplishments reinforce their commitment to Our Credo, which states that they must “maintain in good order the property they are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.”
In addition, their environmental improvement projects consistently result in more efficient manufacturing processes, increased product yields and cost savings.

Growth and profitability:
Three New Units to Focus on Convergence and New Opportunities
A new Office of Strategy and Growth will identify opportunities for future growth that are distinct from those being pursued by the Company's existing businesses; a Surgical Care Group will focus on advancing technologies, solutions and services to enhance patient care in the surgical setting; and a Comprehensive Care Group will create portfolios to address some of the world’s most chronic and pervasive conditions, such as metabolic disorders, through the convergence of technologies, products and services.
"These decisions recognize that a new environment is emerging in human health and well-being," said William C. Weldon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson & Johnson. "They reflect our assessment of the best way for us to capture and develop the opportunities associated with those changes and they capitalize on the unique, broadly-based, decentralized approach of Johnson & Johnson."
Each of the new organizations and appointments become effective, January 1, 2008.
"Much of the change in health care reflects the coming together of parts of the system that were at one time separate," Mr. Weldon said. "The very solutions that the health care system most needs – those coming from the convergence of science, technology and services – are the ones we are most capable of providing. We have the know-how across our pharmaceutical, biologics, devices, diagnostics and consumer businesses to bring completely new solutions to market. And we believe we can accelerate growth through a dedicated focus on the intersection of our existing capabilities, customer needs and emerging trends."
Johnson & Johnson's Consumer businesses are not directly impacted by today's announcements. Under the guidance of Colleen Goggins, Worldwide Chairman, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Group, the integration of the Pfizer Consumer Healthcare business continues to track ahead of the original acquisition plan.
Johnson & Johnson is the world's most comprehensive and broadly-based manufacturer of health care products, as well as a provider of related services, for the consumer, pharmaceutical, and medical devices and diagnostics markets.

Strategic Planning:
Executive management of Johnson & Johnson, with the support and approval of the Board of Directors, has set the fundamental strategic direction of the Company to remain a broadly-based human health care company for the consumer, pharmaceutical and medical device and diagnostics markets. Strategic planning is guided by the ethical principles embodied in Our Credo, unifying our people worldwide behind a set of common values and providing a constant reminder of the Company's responsibilities to all of its constituents.
With over 250 operating companies located in 57 countries throughout the world, Johnson & Johnson is organized on the principle of decentralized management. Each international company is, with some exceptions, managed by citizens of the country where it is located. Senior management groups at U.S. and international operating companies are each responsible for their own strategic plans.
On an on-going basis throughout the year, at meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board, management of the Company and Board members discuss the strategic direction and major developments of the Company's various businesses. The process is an interactive/on-going dialogue which provides the Directors with insight into the activities and direction of the Company's businesses.

Growth and profitability:
Three New Units to Focus on Convergence and New Opportunities
A new Office of Strategy and Growth will identify opportunities for future growth that are distinct from those being pursued by the Company's existing businesses; a Surgical Care Group will focus on advancing technologies, solutions and services to enhance patient care in the surgical setting; and a Comprehensive Care Group will create portfolios to address some of the world’s most chronic and pervasive conditions, such as metabolic disorders, through the convergence of technologies, products and services.
"These decisions recognize that a new environment is emerging in human health and well-being," said William C. Weldon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson & Johnson. "They reflect our assessment of the best way for us to capture and develop the opportunities associated with those changes and they capitalize on the unique, broadly-based, decentralized approach of Johnson & Johnson."
Each of the new organizations and appointments become effective, January 1, 2008.
"Much of the change in health care reflects the coming together of parts of the system that were at one time separate," Mr. Weldon said. "The very solutions that the health care system most needs – those coming from the convergence of science, technology and services – are the ones we are most capable of providing. We have the know-how across our pharmaceutical, biologics, devices, diagnostics and consumer businesses to bring completely new solutions to market. And we believe we can accelerate growth through a dedicated focus on the intersection of our existing capabilities, customer needs and emerging trends."
Johnson & Johnson's Consumer businesses are not directly impacted by today's announcements. Under the guidance of Colleen Goggins, Worldwide Chairman, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Group, the integration of the Pfizer Consumer Healthcare business continues to track ahead of the original acquisition plan.
Johnson & Johnson is the world's most comprehensive and broadly-based manufacturer of health care products, as well as a provider of related services, for the consumer, pharmaceutical, and medical devices and diagnostics markets. The more than 250 Johnson & Johnson operating companies employ approximately 120,000 men and women in 57 countries and sell products throughout the world.
