Corporate Manager, Supplier Diversity
Supplier Diversity is a
Fundamental Business Strategy
"Minority-owned and woman-owned businesses are a highly dynamic sector of the U.S. economy, growing jobs and revenues more quickly than the economic average. There are more than 12 million such firms in the United States, and this group includes many valuable partners in our Johnson & Johnson Supplier Diversity Program.
By purchasing goods and services from these businesses, we are directly contributing to the creation of jobs in local communities and strengthening ties to the consumers, patients and doctors who benefit from our products and services."

Partnering for Success
What does it take for a supplier to be its customer's
strategic partner?
Defined as an on-going, mutually beneficial relationship, supplier partnering with its
customers is the highest form of performance differentiation and maturity and is a
must for suppliers competing in today's performance and innovation -driven global
supply chains. Built on a foundation of shared information and values, partnering
encourages parties to share data, risks and even profits.
This means that each partner accepts some responsibility for the other's success.
This session wil highlight real life examples of how strategic supplier relationships are
developed and identify new avenues and opportunities for customer and supplier

Throughout history, Veterans have demonstrated not only
their valor but also their camaraderie toward a shared goal,
across branches of military service. Ethicon Endo-Surgery
(EES), a Johnson & Johnson's medical device manufacturing
company, and Cardinal Health, a leading distributor of
healthcare products, believe that these are essential attributes
that should be modeled and applied to business practices.
They demonstrate commitment to shared goals through their
partnership with each other and small veteran-owned
businesses. An example of this collaboration is demonstrated
by the use of critical components manufactured by a small
veteran-owned business; Cook Spring Company, Inc. used in EES
