The World Environment Center (WEC) will present its 31st Annual Gold Medal for International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development to SC Johnson. The company is being recognized for its comprehensive, company-wide focus on sustainability and transparency initiatives, capped off by its rigorous “Greenlist process” to improve product ingredients.
