Rooted in Our Credo, the values of DEI fuel our pursuit to create a healthier, more equitable world.
2023 was an exciting year for Johnson & Johnson. We celebrated the 80th anniversary of Our Credo, which states that “we must provide an inclusive work environment where we respect the dignity and diversity of each individual and recognize their merit.”
The data and stories from colleagues in this report exemplify our steadfast commitment to DEI, which continues to be as important today as ever before. Guided by our global DEI strategy, I am proud to share a few of our successes over the past year.
We continue to cultivate a workforce of individuals with diverse backgrounds, cultures, abilities and perspectives. Our Access-Ability Disability Recruitment & Support Program for accessing talent with disability exemplifies our vision and mission to create a holistic, inclusive and enabling environment for talent with Diverse Abilities.
We’re accelerating our global culture of inclusion where every individual belongs. We launched our DEI Maturity Model, a first-of-its-kind tool, designed to optimize business outcomes through DEI at a local level. We piloted the tool in five countries, which allowed us to tailor our DEI strategy to country-specific needs.
We’re driving innovation and growth to serve markets around the world. Through our JLABS global incubator network, we have invested in early-stage innovators, including 48 women-led teams and 36 teams led by people of color.
We’re determined to advance health equity for all. As of 2023, $80 million has been invested cumulatively through Our Race to Health Equity, providing vital health services and information to people of color in the U.S. Together, these efforts have provided vital health services and information to 4.5 million people of color and trained and supported 600,000 healthcare professionals to enable more culturally conscious care.
Thank you to Johnson & Johnson colleagues and partners around the world who made this impact possible.
Together, we are advancing the power of DEI to help solve the world’s most pressing healthcare challenges.
