HISTORY OF THE COMPANY:
One of America's most admired companies, Johnson & Johnson (J & J) is one of the largest healthcare firms
in the world and one of the most diversified. Its operations are organized into three business segments:
pharmaceutical, which generates 39 percent of revenues and 61 percent of operating income; professional,
which accounts for 36 percent of revenues and 27 percent of operating income; and consumer, which
contributes 25 percent of revenues and 12 percent of operating income. J & J's pharmaceutical products--
which are sold under such brands as Janssen Pharmaceutica, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, and Centocor--
include drugs for family planning, mental illness, gastroenterology, oncology, pain management, and other
areas. The professional segment includes surgical and patient care equipment and devices, diagnostic
products, joint replacements, and disposable contact lenses. The company's well-known line of consumer
products includes the Johnson's baby care line, the Neutrogena skin and hair care line, Tylenol and Motrin
pain relievers, o.b. and Stayfree feminine hygiene products, the Reach oral care line, Band-Aid brand
adhesive bandages, Imodium A-D diarrhea treatment, Mylanta gastrointestinal products, and Pepcid AC acid
controller. J & J generates about half of its revenues outside the United States, through its network of 190
operating companies in 51 countries and its marketing organization that sells in more than 175 countries.
Johnson & Johnson was founded more than 120 years ago on a revolutionary idea: Doctors and nurses
should use sterile sutures, dressings and bandages to treat peoples¶ wounds. Since then, the company
brought the world new ideas and products that have transformed human health and well-being. Every
invention, every product, every breakthrough has been powered by generations of employees who are
inspired to make a difference.

Since the founding in 1886, the company has grown to meet the health care needs of people worldwide.
Through mergers, acquisitions and the formation of new companies, they have become the world¶s largest
and most broadly based health care company. Here are some highlights of the historical growth.
1886 ± 1926: Johnson & Johnson Founded With Surgical and Wound Care Products

Strategic Planning:
Executive management of Johnson & Johnson, with the support and approval of the Board of Directors, has
set the fundamental strategic direction of the Company to remain a broadly-based human health care
company for the consumer, pharmaceutical and medical device and diagnostics markets. Strategic planning
is guided by the ethical principles embodied in Our Credo, unifying our people worldwide behind a set of
common values and providing a constant reminder of the Company's responsibilities to all of its
constituents.
With over 250 operating companies located in 57 countries throughout the world, Johnson & Johnson is
organized on the principle of decentralized management. Each international company is, with some
exceptions, managed by citizens of the country where it is located. Senior management groups at U.S. and
international operating companies are each responsible for their own strategic plans.
On an on-going basis throughout the year, at meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board,
management of the Company and Board members discuss the strategic direction and major developments
of the Company's various businesses. The process is an interactive/on-going dialogue which provides the
Directors with insight into the activities and direction of the Company's businesses.
Every five years, the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies sets new long-term goals that help us reduce
our environmental footprint. In 2006, they introduced their newest goals: Healthy Planet 2010. Like our
previous goals, these are ambitious. In developing them, we sought counsel from many stakeholders,
including government officials, environmental groups, other companies and academic thought leaders. They
are confident that our Healthy Planet 2010 goals will help safeguard the health of our planet.
All their environmental accomplishments reinforce their commitment to Our Credo, which states that they
must ³maintain in good order the property they are privileged to use, protecting the environment and
natural resources.´
In addition, their environmental improvement projects consistently result in more efficient manufacturing
processes, increased product yields and cost savings.
