J&J Editorial launched its Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council in 2020. The Council aims to promote inclusivity and belonging among all staff at J&J. The council acts in an advisory role to all divisions and committees throughout the company, aims to empower staff at every level and from every background to be involved in company culture, and ensures staff feel safe and supported to speak up when needed and participate in company events and culture across all of our service divisions and teams.
