Through our Partnerships for Good, we encourage our suppliers to join us in developing sustainable solutions to social and environmental challenges. For example, in 2023, we doubled our certified WBE spend, as identified in our charge card data, to $6 million from approximately $3 million in 2022, emphasizing our commitment to leveraging growing opportunities to support WBEs. This was enabled through our expanded collaboration with American Express and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) in a unique joint initiative that identifies the spend of J&J travelers and seeks opportunities to purchase from WBEs. We plan to further expand this initiative to include small and other diverse business groups in the future.
