Another flagship year for J&J as quake relief work is recognized

Johnson & Johnson, the US pharmaceuticals, medical devices and consumer products giant, said it has had another accomplished year for its corporate social responsibility activities in China.

Named in March as best in the country for employee engagement by AmCham Shanghai, the company carried out a variety of high-profile CSR activities targeting people of all ages - but it was its disaster-relief efforts in the wake of the Zhaotong earthquake in Yunnan province in August that gained the most plaudits.

Those included donating healthcare aid packages to thousands of people in some of the worst-affected towns and villages. The company also provided cash donations to many relief organizations, including the Post-Quake Psychological Rehabilitation Aid Program for Children, run by the China Children & Teenager Fund.
