Under anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, a Johnson & Johnson Company may be held responsible if a TPI:

• offers or pays a bribe, or
• offers or provides some other item of value to or for the benefit of a GO when it tries to sell Johnson & Johnson products or services, or when it tries to influence a government to benefit a Johnson & Johnson Company.

This is why Johnson & Johnson policy strictly prohibits its TPIs from offering or paying anything of value to any HCP or GO in an attempt to influence that person's decision (e.g., to purchase Johnson & Johnson products, approve a product, approve a product registration, etc.).
