At Johnson & Johnson, we believe designing and manufacturing more sustainable products is key to creating a healthy future. The EARTHWARDS® approach embodies our commitment to product stewardship and defines how we address our environmental and social impacts. We use it to engage product development teams and drive continuous product innovation by designing more sustainable solutions across a product’s lifecycle.
