Our Credo is the charter of values of Johnson & Johnson (J&J). This charter was drawn up back in 1943 by the then CEO, Robert W. Johnson, and has been the guideline ever since for all employees in everything they do.

In 4 paragraphs, it describes the values and principles upheld by J&J in its responsibilities to patients and users, employees, community and world, and shareholders, in that precise order.

If we had to cite one element that connects the more than 275 companies and 128,000 employees of J&J and creates a common identity, it is Our Credo.

Our Credo: our guide for the past 70 years 

When you read the charter of values, you will immediately notice that the sustainability concept is enshrined in it. And that Robert W. Johnson had already spoken about his company's environmental, social and economic responsibilities before the term 'sustainability' was used in that context.

Sustainability has been ingrained in our corporate culture for 70 years already.  

About
Janssen

Patient care is central to everything Janssen does. After more than fifty years, that is and remains the main reason we exist.

There is no time to waste in health care. The way in which we will make diagnoses, administer medication, identify or prevent diseases and monitor patients will be revolutionarily different from today. That is why Janssen is evolving from a pharmaceutical company into an organization offering total healthcare solutions tailored to individual patients.
