NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), the world's largest and most broadly-based healthcare company, today published You Belong: Diversity & Inclusion Impact Review (Impact Review), which demonstrates how a strategic Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) philosophy has been a key driver of innovation and impactful business outcomes since its founding more than 130 years ago. Through collaborative achievements and personal stories, the Impact Review explores how the collective wisdom and commitment to inclusion of the 135,000 Johnson & Johnson employees power the company's spirit, and serve patients, customers, and consumers every day.
"We believe that only when our employees can be their true, authentic selves can they spark innovative solutions to the problems facing our world," said Peter Fasolo, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, Johnson & Johnson. "From our humble beginnings more than a century ago, diversity and inclusion has been at the heart of our prescription for success. Our associates around the world work hard to make Johnson & Johnson a welcoming place where diverse ideas can flourish, and with this publication, we've tried to bring their stories to life. We're honored to share it with the world."
"Having diversity and inclusion as a business imperative is so critical. It's about far more than checking a box and can't simply be boiled down to one initiative or program," said Wanda Bryant Hope, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Johnson & Johnson. "Instead, D&I needs to inform every component of business operations. Our Impact Review sheds light on our evidence-based approach, and how it has made a difference for our patients, stakeholders, and customers around the world. We're proud of the progress we've made and are honored by the recognition we've received globally by prominent organizations as we continue to prioritize our culture of belonging. But, we know that there's always more work to be done."
