Share Our Values

The foundation of our leadership and guide to ethical decisions

The values embodied in Our Credo guide and unify our many companies and their employees around the world. They provide an ethical grounding across differing cultures, geographical and political environments, and social settings.

"The Credo is a set of values that we live by, we work by. It is
the North Star, the guiding light, the foundation of Johnson &
Johnson and everything we stand for and everything we are."

William C. Weldon - Chairman and CEO

Our Credo reminds us of our responsibility to four constituent groups that are vital to our success:

First to our customers
Then to our employees
Next to our communities
Finally to our stockholders

Our Credo embodies the values of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship, which serves as a compass for our decision making.

What does it really mean to be part of a values-based culture?

We live by Our Credo every day. That means aligning success with things that are good for people, always delivering on our promises, demonstrating integrity and passion, and being committed to excellence.

Our ethical decision-making process ensures that we carefully consider the long-term consequences of our actions. We emphasize the development of capable, values-based leaders. View our employee perspectives to see how these aspects of our culture impact people within our companies every day.
