Re: Johnson & Johnson (the “Company”)


Incoming letter dated December 16, 2021

Dear Mr. Gerber:

This letter is in response to your correspondence concerning the shareholder


proposal (the “Proposal”) submitted to the Company by the National Legal and Policy
Center for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for its upcoming annual meeting
of security holders.

The Proposal requests a report, published on the company’s website and updated
semi-annually, that discloses, itemizes and quantifies all Company charitable donations,
aggregated by recipient name and address each year for contributions that exceed $999
annually.

We are unable to concur in your view that the Company may exclude the Proposal
under Rule 14a-8(i)(10). Based on the information you have presented, it appears that the
Company’s public disclosures do not substantially implement the Proposal.

Copies of all of the correspondence on which this response is based will be made
available on our website at https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/2021-2022-shareholder-
proposals-no-action.

Sincerely,

Rule 14a-8 Review Team

RE: Johnson & Johnson – 2022 Annual Meeting


Omission of Shareholder Proposal of the
National Legal and Policy Center

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8(j) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of


1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are writing on behalf of our client,
Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation, to request that the Staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) concur with Johnson & Johnson’s view that, for
the reasons stated below, it may exclude the shareholder proposal and supporting
statement (the “Proposal”) submitted by the National Legal and Policy Center (the
“Proponent”) from the proxy materials to be distributed by Johnson & Johnson in
connection with its 2022 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2022 proxy
materials”).

In accordance with Section C of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 14D (Nov. 7, 2008)
(“SLB 14D”), we are emailing this letter and its attachments to the Staff at
[email protected]. In accordance with Rule 14a-8(j), we are
simultaneously sending a copy of this letter and its attachments to the Proponent as
Office of Chief Counsel
December 16, 2021
Page 2

notice of Johnson & Johnson’s intent to omit the Proposal from the 2022 proxy
materials.

Rule 14a-8(k) and Section E of SLB 14D provide that shareholder proponents
are required to send companies a copy of any correspondence that the shareholder
proponents elect to submit to the Commission or the Staff. Accordingly, we are
taking this opportunity to remind the Proponent that if the Proponent submits
correspondence to the Commission or the Staff with respect to the Proposal, a copy
of that correspondence should concurrently be furnished to Johnson & Johnson.

I. The Proposal

The text of the resolution contained in the Proposal is set forth below:

RESOLVED:

The shareholders request that Johnson & Johnson provide a report,


published on the company’s website and updated semi-annually – and
omitting proprietary information and at reasonable cost – that
discloses, itemizes and quantifies all Company charitable donations,
aggregated by recipient name & address each year for contributions
that exceed $999 annually.

This report shall include:

1. Monetary and non-monetary contributions made to non-profit


organizations operating under Section 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4)
of the Internal Revenue Code, and any other public or private
charitable organization;
2. Policies and procedures for charitable contributions (both
direct and indirect) made with corporate assets;
3. Personnel participating in the decisions to contribute.

II. Basis for Exclusion

We hereby respectfully request that the Staff concur in Johnson & Johnson’s
view that it may exclude the Proposal from the 2022 proxy materials pursuant to
Rule 14a-8(i)(10) because Johnson & Johnson has substantially implemented the
Proposal.

III. Background

Johnson & Johnson received the Proposal on November 3, 2021,


accompanied by a cover letter from the Proponent. On November 4, 2021, Johnson
Office of Chief Counsel
December 16, 2021
Page 3

& Johnson sent a letter to the Proponent requesting a written statement from the
record owner of the Proponent’s shares verifying that the Proponent had beneficially
owned the requisite number of shares of Johnson & Johnson’s common stock
continuously for at least the requisite period preceding and including the date of
submission of the Proposal (the “Deficiency Letter”). On November 15, 2021,
Johnson & Johnson received a letter from Fidelity Investments, dated November 12,
2021, verifying the Proponent’s continuous ownership of at least the requisite
amount of stock for at least the requisite period preceding and including the date of
submission (the “Broker Letter”). Copies of the Proposal, cover letter, the
Deficiency Letter, the Broker Letter and related correspondence are attached hereto
as Exhibit A.

IV. The Proposal May be Excluded Pursuant to Rule 14a-8(i)(10) Because


Johnson & Johnson Has Substantially Implemented the Proposal.

Rule 14a-8(i)(10) permits a company to exclude a shareholder proposal if the


company has already substantially implemented the proposal. The Commission
adopted the “substantially implemented” standard in 1983 after determining that the
“previous formalistic application” of the rule defeated its purpose, which is to “avoid
the possibility of shareholders having to consider matters which already have been
favorably acted upon by the management.” See Exchange Act Release No. 34-20091
(Aug. 16, 1983) (the “1983 Release”); Exchange Act Release No. 34-12598 (July 7,
1976). Accordingly, the actions requested by a proposal need not be “fully effected”
provided that they have been “substantially implemented” by the company. See
1983 Release.

Applying this standard, the Staff consistently has permitted exclusion of a


proposal under Rule 14a-8(i)(10) when it has determined that the company’s
policies, practices and procedures or public disclosures compare favorably with the
guidelines of the proposal. See, e.g., JPMorgan Chase & Co. (Mar. 9, 2021)*;
AbbVie Inc. (Mar. 2, 2021)*; Devon Energy Corp. (Apr. 1, 2020)*; Johnson &
Johnson (Jan. 31, 2020)*; Pfizer Inc. (Jan. 31, 2020)*; The Allstate Corp. (Mar. 15,
2019); Johnson & Johnson (Feb. 6, 2019); United Cont’l Holdings, Inc. (Apr. 13,
2018); eBay Inc. (Mar. 29, 2018); Kewaunee Scientific Corp. (May 31, 2017); Wal-
Mart Stores, Inc. (Mar. 16, 2017); Dominion Resources, Inc. (Feb. 9, 2016); Ryder
System, Inc. (Feb. 11, 2015).

In addition, the Staff consistently has permitted exclusion of a proposal under


Rule 14a-8(i)(10) where a company already addressed the underlying concerns and
satisfied the essential objectives of the proposal, even if the proposal had not been
implemented exactly as proposed by the proponent. See, e.g., The Wendy’s Co.

December 16, 2021

(Apr. 10, 2019) (permitting exclusion under Rule 14a-8(i)(10) of a proposal


requesting a report assessing human rights risks of the company’s operations,
including the principles and methodology used to make the assessment, the
frequency of assessment and how the company would use the assessment’s results,
where the company had a code of ethics and a code of conduct for suppliers and
disclosed on its website the frequency and methodology of its human rights risk
assessments); Oshkosh Corp. (Nov. 4, 2016) (permitting exclusion under
Rule 14a-8(i)(10) of a proposal requesting six changes to the company’s proxy
access bylaw, where the company amended its proxy access bylaw to implement
three of six requested changes); MGM Resorts International (Feb. 28, 2012)
(permitting exclusion under Rule 14a-8(i)(10) of a proposal requesting a report on
the company’s sustainability policies and performance, including multiple objective
statistical indicators, where the company published an annual sustainability report);
Exelon Corp. (Feb. 26, 2010) (permitting exclusion under Rule 14a-8(i)(10) of a
proposal requesting a report disclosing policies and procedures for political
contributions and monetary and non-monetary political contributions, where the
company had adopted corporate political contributions guidelines).

In particular, the Staff has permitted exclusion of proposals under


Rule 14a-8(i)(10) where a company satisfied the essential objective of a proposal
seeking disclosure relating to the company’s charitable contributions even if the
proposal had not been implemented exactly as proposed by the proponent. For
example, in Pfizer Inc. (Feb. 5, 2020)* the Staff permitted exclusion under
Rule 14a-8(i)(10) of a proposal requesting that the company provide a report
disclosing the company’s standards and rationale for charitable contributions,
including listing the recipients of contributions of $1,000 or more. In arguing that
the proposal had been substantially implemented, the company referred to its
existing website disclosure of the “standards and rationale for the bulk of its
charitable contributions,” which also listed the recipients, amounts of donations and
other information concerning grants and charitable contributions to medical,
scientific, patient and civic organizations. Although the proposal appeared to
contemplate disclosure of each and every charitable contribution, the Staff concluded
that the company had substantially implemented the proposal. Similarly in PG&E
Corp. (Mar. 10, 2010), the Staff permitted exclusion under Rule 14a-8(i)(10) of a
proposal requesting that the company provide a report disclosing, among other
things, the company’s standards for choosing the organizations to which the
company makes charitable contributions and the “business rationale and purpose for
each of the charitable contributions.” In arguing that the proposal had been
substantially implemented, the company referred to a website where the company
had described its policies and guidelines for determining the types of grants that it
makes and the types of requests that the company typically does not fund. Although
the proposal appeared to contemplate disclosure of each and every charitable
Office of Chief Counsel
December 16, 2021
Page 5

contribution, the Staff concluded that the company had substantially implemented
the proposal.

Johnson & Johnson has substantially implemented the Proposal, the essential
objective of which is to provide disclosure concerning the standards by which
Johnson & Johnson makes charitable donations. In particular, the Proposal requests
a report disclosing Johnson & Johnson’s charitable contributions, including the
policies and procedures for determining charitable contributions. The Proposal’s
supporting statement explains that “[t]he expenditure or distribution of corporate
assets, including charitable donations, should be consistent with shareholder
interests” and “[a]ccordingly, [Johnson & Johnson’s] policies and procedures for
charitable contributions should be disclosed.” The supporting statement further
asserts that Johnson & Johnson executives “exercise wide discretion over the use of
corporate assets for charitable purposes” and that “[a]bsent a system of transparency
and accountability for charitable contributions, [Johnson & Johnson] executives may
use [c]ompany assets for objectives that … may be inimical to the interests of the
[c]ompany and its shareholders.”

Johnson & Johnson already provides extensive disclosure relating to its direct
and indirect charitable contributions, including the standards and policies governing
those contributions, as well as lists of donation recipients for the bulk of Johnson &
Johnson’s charitable contributions. In particular, Johnson & Johnson discloses its
policies underlying its decision-making with respect to charitable donations. As
disclosed in Johnson & Johnson’s Position on Community Impact (the “Community
Impact Policy”),1 as the largest and most broadly based healthcare company in the
world, Johnson & Johnson focuses its contributions on (i) advancing women’s and
children’s health; (ii) strengthening the healthcare workforce; (iii) promoting access
to essential surgery; (iv) accelerating innovative solutions to address global disease
challenges; and (v) providing disaster relief and building resilient health systems. In
addition, the Community Impact Policy explains that all of Johnson & Johnson’s
corporate giving is provided to eligible nonprofit institutions and organizations that
supply the necessary proof of legal standing and good governance, and the company
does not make donations to individuals, physicians, healthcare professionals or
party-political individuals or organizations. Further, the Community Impact Policy
references Johnson & Johnson’s support by donating medicine and funding to the
Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Foundation, Inc. (the “JJPAF”), an
independent, nonprofit organization committed to helping eligible patients without
insurance coverage receive prescription products donated by Johnson & Johnson’s
operating companies. Also, the Community Impact Policy references Johnson &

Johnson’s support for the Johnson & Johnson Foundation (the “Foundation”), an
independent, nonprofit organization working to advance health for humanity. 2

Many of Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiaries, such as its pharmaceutical


business, the Janssen Pharmaceuticals Companies of Johnson & Johnson
(“Janssen”), also disclose their charitable contribution policies.3 In this respect,
Janssen’s Transparency in Educational Grants and Charitable Contributions Policy
states that “[r]equests for charitable contributions are evaluated through a formal
review process which may include a multidisciplinary committee comprised of
Medical Affairs, Healthcare Compliance, Finance and Legal, as necessary,” and
discloses a list of requests that are “generally not eligible for charitable
contributions,” such as “[d]irect contributions to individuals or physician practices”
and “[r]equests from political, fraternal or athletic groups.” The policy also contains
rules regarding educational grants, including that “[g]rants should not take into
account the volume or value of purchases made by, or anticipated from, a potential
grant recipient.”

In addition to the extensive disclosure made by Johnson & Johnson and its
subsidiaries regarding the standards and policies applicable to their charitable
contributions, there is also detailed disclosure as to the amounts, recipients and other
information regarding their charitable donations. For example, Johnson & Johnson
discloses, among other things, its total charitable contributions in its yearly “Health
for Humanity Report.” As disclosed in its 2020 Health for Humanity Report, for the
year ended December 31, 2020, Johnson & Johnson contributed products globally
having a fair market value of more than $2 billion and made cash contributions
globally of more than $500 million.4

Moreover, many of the Johnson & Johnson operating companies provide


detailed reports on their websites, updated annually, regarding their direct and

2
The Foundation and the JJPAF are independent non-profit organizations. Johnson & Johnson
therefore neither controls the organizations nor has the power to require them to disclose
additional information regarding their respective charitable contributions.

indirect grants, charitable contributions, product donations and other funding to


medical, scientific, patient, civic and disaster relief organizations. These reports
include, among other things, each donation recipient’s name and address; whether
the donation was monetary or a product donation; the payment date of the grant,
contribution, product donation or funding; the program/project description; and the
payment amount.5

Given Johnson & Johnson’s existing and extensive public disclosure


describing policies and standards for its charitable contributions and listing
recipients, amounts and associated descriptions for the bulk of Johnson & Johnson’s
donations, Johnson & Johnson has satisfied the essential objective of the Proposal.
Specifically, Johnson & Johnson discloses its policies and procedures, as requested
by the Proposal, so that shareholders can understand and assess whether Johnson &
Johnson’s charitable donations are consistent with shareholder interests. Moreover,
the detailed disclosures listing recipients, amounts and other associated details
provide full transparency so that shareholders can “fully evaluate,” as requested by
the Proposal, “the charitable use of corporate assets.” Thus, Johnson & Johnson has
substantially implemented the Proposal.

Accordingly, the Proposal should be excluded from Johnson & Johnson’s


2022 proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8(i)(10) as substantially implemented.

V. Conclusion

Based upon the foregoing analysis, Johnson & Johnson respectfully requests
that the Staff concur that it will take no action if Johnson & Johnson excludes the
Proposal from its 2022 proxy materials.

shareholders in conjunction with the next annual meeting of shareholders. The Proposal
is submitted under Rule 14(a)-8 (Proposals of Security Holders) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission's proxy regulations.

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) is the beneficial owner of 27 shares of
the Company's common stock with a value exceeding $2,000, which shares have been
held continuously for more than a year prior to this date of submission. NLPC intends to

A proof of ownership letter is forthcomjng and will be delivered to the Company.

The Proposal is submitted in order to promote shareholder value by requesting the

Disclosure" proposal
Request for Charitable Donation Disclosure

RESOLVED:

The shareholders request that Johnson & Johnson provide a report, published on the company’s
website and updated semi-annually – and omitting proprietary information and at reasonable cost
– that discloses, itemizes and quantifies all Company charitable donations, aggregated by
recipient name & address each year for contributions that exceed $999 annually.

This report shall include:

1. Monetary and non-monetary contributions made to non-profit organizations operating


under Section 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any other public
or private charitable organization;
2. Policies and procedures for charitable contributions (both direct and indirect) made with
corporate assets;
3. Personnel participating in the decisions to contribute.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT:

Johnson & Johnson’s assets belong to its shareholders. The expenditure or distribution of
corporate assets, including charitable contributions, should be consistent with shareholder
interests. Accordingly, the Company’s policies and procedures for charitable contributions
should be disclosed to shareholders.

Company executives exercise wide discretion over the use of corporate assets for charitable
purposes. Absent a system of transparency and accountability for charitable contributions,
Company executives may use Company assets for objectives that are not shared by and may be
inimical to the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Current disclosure is insufficient to allow the Company’s Board, its shareholders, and its current
and prospective customers to fully evaluate the charitable use of corporate assets.

There is currently no single source providing shareholders the information sought by this
resolution.

VIA EMAIL

Paul Chesser
National Legal and Policy Center
[email protected]

Dear Mr. Chesser:

This letter acknowledges receipt by Johnson & Johnson, on November 3, 2021, of the
shareholder proposal submitted by the National Legal and Policy Center (the “Proponent”)
pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”),
for consideration at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Proposal”).

Paragraph (b) of the Rule provides that shareholder proponents must submit
sufficient proof of their continuous ownership of:

• at least $2,000 in market value of a company’s common stock for at least three
years, preceding and including the date that the proposal was submitted;

• at least $15,000 in market value of a company’s common stock for at least two
years, preceding and including the date that the proposal was submitted; or

• at least $25,000 in market value of a company’s common stock for at least one year,
preceding and including the date that the proposal was submitted.

Alternatively, a proponent must have continuously held at least $2,000 in market


value of a company’s common stock for at least one year as of January 4, 2021 and
continuously maintained a minimum investment of at least $2,000 in market value of a
company’s common stock from January 4, 2021 through and including the date that the
proposal was submitted.

The Company’s stock records do not indicate that the Proponent is a record owner
of Company shares, and to date, we have not received sufficient proof that the Proponent
has satisfied the Rule’s ownership requirements.

Accordingly, please furnish to us, within 14 days of your receipt of this letter, a
written statement from the “record” holder of the Proponent’s shares (usually a broker or a
bank) and a participant in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) verifying that the
Proponent beneficially owned the requisite number of Company shares continuously for at
least the requisite period preceding and including November 3, 2021, the date the Proposal
was submitted. The Proponent can confirm whether a particular broker or bank is a DTC

participant by asking the broker or bank or by checking DTC’s participant list, which is
currently available on the Internet at: http://www.dtcc.com/client-center/dtc-directories.

If the Proponent’s broker or bank is not on the DTC participant list, the Proponent
will need to obtain a written statement from the DTC participant through which the
Proponent’s shares are held verifying that the Proponent beneficially owned the requisite
number of Company shares continuously for at least the requisite period preceding and
including November 3, 2021, the date the Proposal was submitted. The Proponent should
be able to find who this DTC participant is by asking the Proponent’s broker or bank. If the
broker is an introducing broker, the Proponent may also be able to learn the identity and
telephone number of the DTC participant through the Proponent’s account statements,
because the clearing broker identified on the account statements will generally be a DTC
participant. If the DTC participant knows the Proponent’s broker or bank’s holdings, but
does not know the Proponent’s holdings, the Proponent can satisfy the proof of ownership
requirement by obtaining and submitting two proof of ownership statements verifying that,
for at least the requisite period preceding and including November 3, 2021, the required
amount of securities was continuously held – one from the Proponent’s broker or bank
confirming the Proponent’s ownership, and the other from the DTC participant confirming
the Proponent’s broker or bank’s ownership.

The SEC’s rules require that any response to this letter be postmarked or
transmitted electronically no later than 14 calendar days from the date you receive this
letter. Please address any response to me at Johnson & Johnson, One Johnson & Johnson
Plaza, New Brunswick, NJ 08933, Attention: Corporate Secretary. For your convenience, a
copy of the Rule is enclosed.

Once we receive any response, we will be in a position to determine whether the


Proposal is eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Company’s 2022 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. We reserve the right to seek relief from the Securities and
Exchange Commission as appropriate.

In the interim, you should feel free to contact either my colleague, Pinto Adhola,
Assistant Corporate Secretary, at (732) 524-3581 or me at (732) 524-2472 if you wish to
discuss the Proposal or have any questions or concerns that we can help to address.

Position on Community Impact

Background
Corporations, by the very nature of their existence and activities, have an impact on our society and
environment and play a role in the welfare and well-being of communities. Beyond their core business
activities, corporations can also help create a better world and improve the quality of life for communities
through additional strategic philanthropic initiatives that go beyond commercial activities. These initiatives
typically complement a corporation’s business engagement with society, communities and consumers through
voluntary sharing of resources to support social causes and help meet societal needs that are not fully met via
other channels. Such activities are intended to deliver benefit to society and not to yield direct commercial
benefit to corporations. Such activities may include:

• Partnership initiatives to create platforms for social development and community capacity-building;
• Financial donations, grants and scholarships;
• In-kind donations of products, equipment or services;
• Investment of time through employee volunteering in local communities; and
• Targeted emergency support when disaster strikes.

This Position represents our overall approach to community impact and key areas of activity. See also our
Position on Disaster Relief.

Relevance
As the largest and most broadly based healthcare company in the world, reaching patients and consumers
each day with our medicines, consumer health products and medical devices, Johnson & Johnson is an
essential part of the fabric of society in communities around the globe. We deeply care about the quality and
well-being of our communities. Delivering access to healthcare through medicines, medical devices and
consumer health products through our core business represents an essential contribution to community life.
Beyond this, we believe we have a responsibility to use our reach and share our resources with partners in
communities around the world to forge a healthier, more equitable future for all. Further, Johnson & Johnson
employees live and work in the communities we serve and are passionate about engaging to offer support
where they are able. They value working for a company that enables them to engage in communities,
demonstrate good citizenship and make a meaningful difference to improving the quality of life in their local
communities.

Guiding Principles
At Johnson & Johnson, we believe we are uniquely positioned to bring together science, people, technology
and the ideas needed to profoundly change the trajectory of health for humanity. That scale and reach come
with a huge sense of responsibility—and, every decision is anchored in Our Credo and our commitments to
patients and all who use our products and services, to employees, to communities around the world, and to
Johnson & Johnson Position on Community Impact

our stockholders. Our community impact work is guided by our focus on patients and frontline health workers
and the positive difference we can make on millions of lives.

Our Position
At Johnson & Johnson, we believe good health is the foundation of vibrant lives, thriving communities and
forward progress. That’s why for more than 130 years we have aimed to keep people well at every age and
every stage of life. Today, Johnson & Johnson is committed to using its reach and size for good. We are
committed to going beyond our immediate business interests by contributing to advancing health and well-
being in the communities in which we live and work. We do this through the following activities:

Focusing our contributions in areas where we can have the most significant impact
We believe that a targeted approach to corporate giving enables us to focus our resources to support
identified needs in the most effective way. As healthcare and improving the trajectory of health are closest to
our hearts, our efforts focus on three strategic platforms: our Center for Health Worker Innovation, our Talent
for Good Program to engage employees with Company purposes and our Response to People in Crisis.
Typically, we target to enhance our short-, medium- and long-term impact beyond our core business activities
in the areas of:

• Advancing women’s and children’s health


• Strengthening the healthcare workforce
• Promoting access to essential surgery
• Accelerating innovative solutions to address global disease challenges
• Providing disaster relief and building resilient health systems

Working both globally and locally


Our approach addresses broad health challenges that require a consistent global strategy while also
considering specific local needs. Through our local operating units in more than 60 countries, we are well
placed to engage at the local level and seek to provide specific support where it is needed.

Engaging in a broad range of activity


Within the Johnson & Johnson network, several entities and groups contribute to enhancing our community
impact though planning, implementation of programs and provision of funds both at global and local levels.
These include the following:
• Our Global Community Impact (GCI) Group supports and champions the people on the front lines
who are at the heart of delivering care. In 2019, GCI established the Johnson & Johnson Center for
Health Worker Innovation to catalyze efforts to respond to the human resource crisis in global health
and build a thriving health workforce. Leveraging a people-first model, the Center focuses on
equipping nurses, midwives and community health workers across the globe with the skills, resources
and support they need to improve quality of care and strengthen primary and community-based
health systems.
• The Johnson & Johnson Foundation, an independent, nonprofit organization to advance health for
humanity, funds global and in-country programs executed by the GCI team that support frontline
health workers and make quality healthcare accessible for everyone, no matter where they live. One
of the Foundation’s initiatives is Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures, an innovative finance vehicle
designed to address the existing gap in health-focused impact investing by funding social enterprises
that support frontline health workers. The Foundation operates regionally as Johnson & Johnson

2
Johnson & Johnson Position on Community Impact

Foundation U.S. and Johnson & Johnson Foundation Scotland. Annual reports posted on the
Johnson & Johnson Foundation website reflect progress toward the stated strategic goals and
objectives.
• Various corporate functional divisions and operating companies across our three business
segments around the world engage with and provide funding to diverse initiatives.
• Employees from our global operations volunteer and engage in fundraising for local causes.
For example, we utilize the Global Giving platform, a crowdfunding initiative for employees and others
to donate funds to support disaster relief and global public health efforts. Johnson & Johnson
matches a portion of funds pledged for select projects.
• Product donations via our operating companies around the world support patients in need, and are
delivered through patient assistance partners.

Supporting employee volunteerism

• Providing opportunities for employees to use their talent for good: We believe that the skills,
expertise and ingenuity of our employees are the key to our effectiveness in advancing the trajectory
of health. To unleash the potential and impact of our people, we provide a range of opportunities for
employees to help our community-based partners address critical capacity-building needs. For
example, our Global Pro Bono program offers employees the opportunity to take up to four weeks of
paid time to support NGOs globally. The Johnson & Johnson Secondment Program offers employees
the opportunity to share their skills, experiences and talents with NGO partner organizations across
25 countries in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region serving in paid, long-term assignments (up
to six months). All secondees receive one-on-one coaching from Johnson & Johnson retirees and
mentoring guidance from program alumni before, during and after their secondment.

• Maintaining a range of volunteer-friendly policies: We maintain a range of policies and offerings


around the globe that encourage volunteerism. For example, eligible individuals in the United States
are supported by Volunteer Leave Policies:
o The Volunteer Leave Policy allows employees up to 16 hours of paid leave time to volunteer;
and
o The Extended Volunteer Leave Policy provides employees with the opportunity to work on
skills-based volunteer projects, and supports a leave of up to 80 hours (maximum of 40 hours
paid and 40 hours unpaid leave).
o Outside the United States, our operating companies adopt varying local policies in line with
local needs and norms.

• Supporting our employee first responders: We support our employees who volunteer to assist
when disaster strikes. Our First Responder Time-Off Policy allows employees who serve as
Emergency Volunteer Workers to take up to 40 hours a year of paid time off if an emergency
summons requires the employee to be late or absent from work. (The Policy currently applies to
employees in the United States.)

Collaborating in partnership with like-minded organizations


• Engaging in partnerships: In all our corporate giving efforts, whatever form they take, we aim to
work in partnership. A key part of our approach is the selection of global and local partners who share

3
Johnson & Johnson Position on Community Impact

our passion for improving healthcare and collaborative mindset. Such partnerships are often strategic,
multi-year and multi-faceted: where appropriate, our goal is to engage via a range of channels
working in concert, including financial support, technology, knowledge-sharing and employee time
and effort.
• Working with eligible organizations: All our corporate giving is provided to eligible nonprofit
institutions and organizations that supply the necessary proof of legal standing and good governance.
We do not make donations to individuals, physicians, healthcare professionals or party-political
individuals or organizations. We do not accept unsolicited proposals.
• Assessing impact: It is important to us to know that our corporate giving is delivering the social and
healthcare benefits that we intend. For this reason, we ask our key partners to report on the way our
donated resources are used. In certain cases, we may request or conduct impact assessments to
gain a deeper understanding of social outcomes and ongoing needs. We also set goals and measure
progress toward them on an annual basis via an external assurance process which we report as part
of the Health for Humanity Report (https://healthforhumanityreport.jnj.com/).

Independent program and Foundation support


In the United States, we also support independent initiatives by donating medicines and funding. For
example:

• The Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Foundation, Inc. (JJPAF) is an independent,
nonprofit organization that is committed to helping eligible patients without insurance coverage
receive prescription products donated by Johnson & Johnson operating companies. More information
about the JJPAF is available at www.jjpaf.org.

Application
This Position is relevant for the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, as detailed in our governance
materials. We provide updates relating to community impact in our annual Health for Humanity Report.

Transparency in Educational Grants and


Charitable Contributions
We recognize that medical science evolves rapidly with new information becoming available
constantly. As part of the healthcare system, we also understand the need to support healthcare
professionals in their pursuit of the most current education to provide the best patient care
possible. There is further need to support patients, caregivers and communities to ensure that they
have the information and products required to live healthy lives. We are proud to have the
opportunity to support educational programs and community programs through educational
grants and charitable contributions, respectively.

We hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards to ensure that we are providing
educational grants and charitable contributions in an appropriate manner. There are a number of
policies and guidance documents from various external regulatory and policy-making
organizations that form the basis for the development of our company's guiding principles used to
evaluate educational grant and charitable request submissions.

Our primary focus is making life-changing, long-term differences in human health and disease
management for those who may be helped by the products and services we provide. The purpose of
our disclosure of supported educational grants and charitable contributions is to demonstrate our
ongoing commitment to this endeavor. It is our hope that this disclosure will help the general
public to better understand the nature and volume of programs that we support in the interest of
advancing patient care and supporting local communities.

A charitable contrf Janssen's COVID-19 Vaccine Status> \. cash charitable contribution is a


financial donation that is philanthropic in nature and provided to a non-profit organization to
support a specific community-based (or regional/national) program, project or event. A product
donation is provided through specific product-giving programs to non-government organizations
generally responding to disasters, medical relief efforts or basic healthcare needs in under-served
communities. Requests for charitable contributions are evaluated through a formal review process
which may include a multidisciplinary committee comprised of Medical Affairs, Healthcare
Compliance, Finance and Legal, as necessary. Recipients must be tax-exempt organizations with
an appropriate federal tax-exempt status. Requests should include the organization's mission
statement, IRS tax status, project/event description, description of how the funds will be used,
project budget (if applicable) and annual operating budget (if applicable). The following types of
requests are generally not eligible for charitable contributions:

• Requests from organizations that do not have a valid federal tax-exempt status
• Scholarships to individuals
• Direct contributions to individuals or physician practices
• Loans
• Trips or tours
• Endowments of any kind
• Sectarian and religious organizations that do not serve the general public on a
nondenominational basis
• Capital requests (building funds, endowments or multi-year commitments)
• Requests from political, fraternal or athletic groups

Product contributions must be used in the manner defined below:

• Product contributions will only be placed with licensed medical and healthcare professionals

Unfortunately, not Janssen's COVID-19 Vaccine Status> ,r consideration can be funded.

Janssen abides by rules developed by several regulatory and policy-making organizations. These
rules provide guidance on several parameters. For example:

• Grants should not take into account the volume or value of purchases made by, or anticipated
from, a potential grant recipient.
• Accredited educational activities should be independent and without influence from commercial
supporters.
• Educational grants may only be provided to recognized institutions, organizations, or societies;
no funding may be provided by industry directly to an individual or medical practice.
• Presentations must give a balanced view of therapeutic options and not be tied to a specific
product for commercial purposes.

Janssen uses established policies to evaluate each submission on its own merits. Funds are not
provided as "unrestricted educational grants," which implies that recipients may use the financial
support for a purpose other than what was originally intended. Although Janssen only provides
restricted educational grants, it is assumed that program content is developed in an independent
manner by the requestor. It is expected that a provider should develop accredited medical
education activities without interference, direct or nuanced, from a commercial supporter.

To ensure that the purpose of the educational activity is clearly understood, all grant requests
include several key components to be provided within the grant application when submitting a
grant request to our organization.

Each grant request submission is evaluated on four common components:

• The needs assessment documenting why the activity is necessary and how the proposed activity
will address the educational need or gap
• A proposed or final agenda and/ or brochure (if applicable)
• A detailed budget outlining how the funds will be utilized
• A statement of accreditation and/or tax-exempt status

* This five-year target is predominantly supported by Johnson & Johnson Foundation grants facilitated by the Global Community Impact organization. We are reporting
the target as not achieved due to a shift in our strategy in 2019, which transitioned from programs primarily reaching consumer groups directly to programs targeting
frontline health workers (i.e., nurses, midwives, and community health workers). We believe this transition will have greater, more far-reaching and sustainable impact
on women’s and children’s lives in the longer term. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical needs facing our frontline health workers and their unique
ability to address the healthcare needs of our society, and in particular, the underserved. The new commitment we announced in early 2020 acknowledges the pivotal
role that health workers play in providing essential services to these groups. As such, the programming and tracking toward the original goal transitioned, with fewer
programs directly reaching women and children and more programs reaching the health workers who serve them.

United in
Defeating
COVID-19
In late 2019, reports of a novel coronavirus sparked international
concern among the scientific community. Within months, SARS-
CoV-2 had spread to nearly every continent, shutting down entire
cities and countries and igniting a global effort to find a vaccine that
could stop the virus from impacting more damage.
Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has stretched global healthcare
systems and posed a critical challenge for governments, healthcare
authorities, health professionals and the industries supporting the
healthcare infrastructure.
Whether directly or indirectly, COVID-19 has had a drastic and
oftentimes devastating impact on the lives of people worldwide.
Restrictions and isolation have placed people under great stress
where limited access to healthcare continues to take a severe toll on
mental health leading to increased anxiety and fear.
Throughout our more than 130-year history, Johnson & Johnson has
a legacy of responding during crisis. We have actively engaged in
fighting global outbreaks from tuberculosis to HIV and Ebola. Our
knowledge and experience, successes and setbacks alike inform
everything we have done to tackle COVID-19.
Johnson & Johnson moved swiftly, mobilizing our research teams,
establishing key partnerships and collaborations, and committing to
put every resource at the Company's disposal to develop a vaccine
to help combat the pandemic. In just over a year, our dedication
came to fruition with the delivery of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate
at a not-for-profit price that has been approved for emergency use
as a single-dose injection in countries around the world. Taking into
account issues of access, equity, supply chain infrastructure and the
varied needs of a global population, we are providing an important
component to a worldwide vaccination strategy for a virus unlike
anything we’ve seen in a century.

Caring for Patients


During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have maintained
a dual approach to caring for patients:
First, we continued to meet the ongoing needs of
patients and the continuity of supply of our lifesaving
medicines, consumer health products and medical
devices during these challenging times.
Second, we leveraged our resources to accelerate
the development of an effective COVID-19 vaccine
and screened compounds in discovery and
development within our organization to determine
whether previously tested medicines can be used
to help patients.

Advancing a Vaccine
Vaccines are key to eradicating the COVID-19
pandemic. For years, Johnson & Johnson has
invested in building state-of-the-art antiviral and
vaccine capabilities, which we have used to develop
and manufacture our Ebola vaccine regimen and
construct our investigational Zika, RSV and HIV
vaccine candidates. We have used these capabilities
and facilities to accelerate our efforts to develop a

Supply Chain Resilience


We have robust business continuity plans in place across our global supply chain
network, prioritizing our response efforts across two key dimensions – potential
impact to public health, followed by level of impact to critical lifesaving products.

Ensuring Supply Chain Continuity


Throughout the pandemic we have worked closely with suppliers, distributors,
local governments and regulators and have continued to provide critical medicines,
products and services, while protecting the health and safety of our more than
136,000 employees around the world.
As a Company, we have maintained robust business continuity plans across our
global supply chain network to prepare for unforeseen events and to meet the
needs of the patients, customers and consumers who depend on our products.
These steps include maintaining critical inventory at major distribution centers
away from high-risk areas around the world and working with external suppliers
to support our preparedness plans. See our Position on Business Continuity
Management.
A key component of assuring business continuity is our employees. We have
instituted a variety of workplace enhancements for the one-third of our people
who have remained on-site, while the other two-thirds have adapted to remote work
arrangements. The next phase of our journey involves the continuation of gradually
and thoughtfully returning more of our people to the many places we work. See
COVID-19: Protecting Employees.
Our technology ecosystem in action: Through our Johnson & Johnson Technology
teams, we supported a wide range of activities within the scope of our COVID-19
response with several technology innovations and data science-driven tools. For
example, we created a COVID-19 Visibility Dashboard to help understand near-real-
time product availability for fact-based decisions regarding planning, distribution and
business continuity as a result of emerging demand impacted by COVID-19. We also
developed an End-to-End Network Scenario Impact Simulation tool to help minimize
supply disruptions using highly automated scenario risk simulation technology. In
Consumer Health and Medical Devices, we have been able to predict the impact
of raw material supply fluctuations on our capacity to better sustain supply and
meet demand surges. At Janssen, we can predict the impact of changes to external
supplier capacity on our inventories and service levels. These and many more
initiatives have enabled business continuity and ongoing supply for our patients,
consumers and customers.

Our frontline Superheroes were instrumental in distributing the initial shipments of the first doses
of our COVID-19 vaccine.

Treating HIV in Resource-Limited Settings
In collaboration with ViiV Healthcare, our focus is to bring a new, long-acting injectable treatment regimen
to high-burden countries where new treatment options are needed. Initially, we are planning regulatory
filings in two countries to demonstrate a path for access and availability in resource-limited countries,
where Janssen will be the lead company.
The new regimen’s availability in resource-limited countries would be significant. Because of advances in
modern medicine, HIV should no longer be considered a death sentence; however, people with HIV must
currently maintain strict, lifelong treatment regimens. Reducing the frequency of medication from daily to
six times a year may make adherence easier on a long-term basis. Also, daily pill regimens may create stigma
for those living with HIV, creating a barrier to seeking and adhering to treatment due to fear of disclosure.
Long-acting injectable regimens could provide solutions to these challenges.

Disaster Preparedness & Relief


We work with trusted partners including Americares, Heart to Heart International,
Mercy Ships and Direct Relief on the front lines of care to help communities by
coordinating product donations, and through programs that help communities recover,
rebuild and become resilient. In the immediate aftermath of any major disaster, our
response includes providing an array of our Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices and
Consumer Health products, as well as monetary donations and support to help people
and communities recover mentally and physically. Our approach is to stay closely
connected with our partners and colleagues to assess what needs may arise in the
long term and determine how we can support them. See our Position on Disaster Relief.
In 2020, much of our emergency and relief effort was focused on supporting
communities through the COVID-19 pandemic. See our section United in Defeating
COVID-19. However, we also supported communities struck by disaster, including:
• Earthquakes in Puerto Rico: Southwestern Puerto Rico was struck by a series of
over 2,000 earthquakes in late 2019 and early 2020, devastating communities and
demolishing homes and buildings, forcing roughly 7,500 people to look for other
kinds of shelter, including cars and tents.
• Explosion in Lebanon: In the aftermath of the devastating blast in Beirut in August, Direct Relief supplies are loaded onto a plane for transport to Oregon on September 19, 2020.
we donated $500,000 for relief efforts, and partnered extensively in the region with (Lara Cooper/Direct Relief)
local NGOs including the Lebanese Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF),
UNICEF, Save the Children, and the International Rescue Committee to provide
hygiene kits and help support the affected communities. We also contributed to the
establishment of free mental health walk-in clinics and a 24/7 hotline.
• Hurricanes Eta and Iota in Latin America: We partnered with colleagues and relief

practices. We expect all our employees to help us sustain the
trust earned over the course of more than 130 years of business
operations. In doing so, we are empowered to advance Our

safety of our products for our patients and consumers; act as
stewards of the environment and maintain a global supply network

Information Security & Data Privacy


GRI 418

Johnson & Johnson is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of those


who entrust us with their personal information. In addition to our Code of Business
Conduct and all the laws that apply to our operating companies’ handling of
personal information, we also maintain global privacy policies to which all our
businesses worldwide must adhere. Our policies reflect our commitment to fair and
transparent information practices. Similarly, through our Information Security and Risk
Management organization, we safeguard the Company’s networks, systems, products
and information against evolving cyber threats to prevent unintended or unauthorized
access to both business and personal information.
In 2020, we increased efforts to ensure compliance with the growing number of
new privacy and cybersecurity laws around the globe which all have security or data
protection requirements, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Brazilian
LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais) compliance law, as well as other
new regulations in China, South Korea and Thailand. Generally, these regulations
require new processes and systems to help ensure consumers and patients have
greater knowledge of their privacy rights, and the ability to exercise such rights
with respect to access, correction of and deletion of their data. We are updating
websites controlled by Johnson & Johnson and establishing new or enhanced
processes to support consumer, patient and other data subject requests to address
these requirements. Furthermore, to enhance our cybersecurity capabilities, we

expanded our cybersecurity controls to address the expanding and evolving global
cybersecurity threats.
Externally, we partnered with industry groups in different regions—both to help
ensure new privacy regulations are effective in addressing the needs of patients,
consumers and businesses in managing the use of personal information, and to share
cybersecurity threat intelligence and best practices. These partnerships are critical for
research, innovation and building patient and consumer engagement, particularly in
emerging areas of health technology.
Also, as part of our global COVID-19 response, we worked intensively across the
Enterprise to assist in the rapid transitioning to virtual business models and remote
working in ways that protect Company information and respect the privacy rights
of individuals, including privacy support and guidance for on-site COVID-19 testing
and our vaccine development. Additionally, we launched a separate cybersecurity
program dedicated to the security of Janssen vaccine development, manufacturing
and distribution.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors of Johnson & Johnson

We have reviewed the accompanying Johnson & Johnson management assertion, that the sustainability metrics as of or for the year ended
December 31, 2020 in management’s assertion are presented in conformity with the assessment criteria set forth in management’s assertion.

Johnson & Johnson’s management is responsible for its assertion and for the selection of the criteria, which management believes provide an
objective basis for measuring and reporting on the sustainability metrics. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on management’s
assertion based on our review.

Our review was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(“AICPA”) in AT-C section 105, Concepts Common to All Attestation Engagements, and AT-C section 210, Review Engagements. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain limited assurance about whether any material modifications should be made
to management’s assertion in order to be fairly stated. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated, in all material respects, in order to express an opinion.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We believe that our review provides a reasonable basis for our conclusion.

In performing our review, we have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct issued
by the AICPA.

We applied the Statements on Quality Control Standards established by the AICPA and, accordingly, maintain a comprehensive system of
quality control.

The preparation of the sustainability metrics requires management to establish the criteria, make determinations as to the relevancy of
information to be included, and make assumptions that affect reported information. The selection by management of different but acceptable
measurement techniques could have resulted in materially different amounts or metrics being reported.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to Johnson & Johnson’s management assertion in
order for it to be fairly stated.
