      "Forests are critically important to life on Earth [...] Given the global value and importance of forests, it is an enormous concern that they face significant threats. Perhaps the most serious threat is deforestation or the removal of a forest or stand of trees followed by conversion of that land for non-forest use. It has been projected that nearly half of the world’s species of plants, animals and microorganisms may be destroyed or severely threatened over the next 25 years because of deforestation"

            "For the ingredients Johnson & Johnson purchased in 2019, a total of 65,249 MT of palm oil and palm kernel oil was consumed upstream in our supply chain.

In partnership with Earthworm Foundation, we continue to achieve year-over-year improvement in pursuit of implementing our Responsible Palm Oil Sourcing Criteria by year-end 2020, including: • Increased transparency to mill-level for 84% of our palm oil derivatives volumes from our top suppliers. • Verified that 91% of our palm oil derivatives suppliers have No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) policies in place consistent with our own. Achieved 100% certification, through Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification schemes, for the palm oil and palm kernel oil that serves as feedstock to our derivatives, based on 2019 volumes.

          "We work closely with our direct suppliers to implement our sourcing criteria in their own supply chains. As primarily a derivatives buyer, we are multiple links in the chain away from the original source of palm oil and palm kernel oil that serve as feedstocks for what will eventually become an ingredient in our products. A critical step, therefore, is to engage the suppliers with which we have the greatest volumes to adopt their own sourcing criteria, which they in turn may cascade up the supply chain. [...] We monitor supplier and producer performance to verify conformance to our responsible palm oil sourcing criteria using a wide range of technologies and partners. Central to this is our work with EF to gain access to source information that our suppliers deem sensitive and confidential. There are also instances where we may pilot and support technology solutions to gather data and risk assess sources in partnership with our suppliers."

This prioritization exercise also enables Johnson & Johnson to engage quickly with suppliers and sources that would benefit from near-term intervention [...] To verify conformance with these sourcing principles, we prefer Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)- certified material. Other relevant third-party certifications or verifications will be accepted as risk mitigation tools; however, conformance with our sourcing principles may not be guaranteed. In some cases, additional verification may be required."
