Implementing climate wise at Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson has had a formal energy program since the early 1970`s. A corporate energy department was formed as a result of the disruption of energy supplies and rising energy costs. Johnson & Johnson is a decentralized company with many independent operating companies throughout the world. The corporate energy department cuts across the different levels of management to delivery energy related information to the actual implementers at all of our locations worldwide. Like many other energy programs, Johnson & Johnson`s program had highs and lows depending on worldwide energy activities. Unlike many other corporate programs that were disbanded in the late 1980`s, our program remained in place, although there was not a high level of interest or attention. In the early 1990`s, the link was made between electricity generation and greenhouse gas emissions, initially by the Green Lights program and strongly reinforced by the United Nations agreement and the U.S. Climate Change Action Plan. As a result, our energy program at Johnson & Johnson received renewed attention and a significant effort is now underway to reduce our greenhouse gases through energy reductions. This paper will describe how Johnson & Johnson, a Climate Wise Partner, is undertaking various energy efficient programs and technologies throughout the U.S. to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
