In 2019 we launched our inaugural You Belong: Diversity & Inclusion Impact Review, which examines how diversity and inclusion have been key drivers of innovation and impactful business outcomes since our founding over 130 years ago. The Review also shares compelling stories about how Johnson & Johnson employees are making diversity and inclusion how we work every day to better serve our patients, consumers and customers around the world.
Diversity and inclusion are critical to our business and integrated into everything we do. Empowering people to be themselves helps us to drive innovation, inform decision-making, and deliver business results.
