Health should be accessible to all.

And yet every day people and communities around the globe face complex diseases and environmental challenges.

Which is why, as the world’s largest and most broadly based healthcare company, Johnson & Johnson is committed to using its reach and size to help improve the health of people around the world and the environment in which they live.

From efforts to help fight and prevent disease to the development of more sustainable products, the company’s newly released 2018 Health for Humanity Report details the progress the company made last year toward meeting the Health for Humanity Goals it has pledged to achieve by 2020, as well as the U.N.’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

“At Johnson & Johnson, we know that changing the trajectory of health of humanity requires dedication and commitment on many fronts,” says Alex Gorsky, Chairman and CEO, Johnson & Johnson. "We’re proud to share this year’s Health for Humanity Report, which details the progress we’ve made in improving our environmental, social and governance practices—and we’re committed to finding even more ways to create a healthier society. It’s not just part of our business model, it’s a fundamental tenet of our values as a company.”
