Sustainability requirements: Johnson & Johnson expects suppliers to operate in an environmentally responsible manner by optimizing natural resource use, setting science-based GHG reduction goals, improving energy efficiency, and increasing renewable energy use. Suppliers must monitor and publicly disclose emissions, manage air and wastewater emissions to protect health, prevent hazardous spills, and handle waste responsibly. They are also expected to implement waste reduction and recycling programs, maintain water stewardship, ensure legal sourcing of plant and forest materials, and integrate biodiversity conservation. Suppliers should have systems in place to identify and mitigate environmental impacts across their operations and supply chains.
