Supplier Diversity Program

The objective of the Johnson & Johnson Supplier Diversity Program is to promote the inclusion of qualified minority-owned, woman-owned and/or small businesses in the sourcing of the goods and services we need to run our businesses. We believe that a diverse supplier base not only increases the economic and social vitality of the communities in which we live and work, but also helps us enhance our role as a health care leader.

By including minority-owned companies in our activities, we play an active role in creating jobs and wealth in minority communities. By including woman-owned businesses, we reflect the key decision makers on retail purchases and family health care decisions. By including small businesses, we help fuel growth in a highly dynamic sector of the American economy.

To the extent that we can maximize our opportunities to source goods and services from diverse and small businesses, we believe that we can reach more patients and customers, treat and cure diseases, and improve the lives of those who use our products.

We welcome potential, qualified diverse and small suppliers who can add value to our products and fulfill our requirements on a competitive basis.

Johnson & Johnson has received several prestigious awards and recognition for its Supplier Diversity Program. The Company was recognized by Women’s Business Enterprise National Council as a 2006 “Top Corporation for Women’s Business” and has been listed by DiversityBusiness.com as one of America’s “Top 50 Corporations for Multicultural Businesses” for the past six years.
