SC Johnson has proudly published its sustainably report for 20 years. In 2011, SCJ reached some key milestones:
The company’s 2011 report also introduces SC Johnson’s next set of five-year sustainability objectives which focus on 360° of green choices. These include:
Continuously Improving Products: Having already increased use of ingredients rated “better” or “best” from 18% in 2001 to 51% in 2010, increase to 58% by 2016.
Communicate Transparently: Communicate to the people who buy SC Johnson products about the materials used and the impact of the company’s operations.
Reduce Waste: Increase post-consumer-recycled content across product packaging to 30%; decrease packaging across product lines by 5%; offset 30% of virgin material use through innovative partnership and packaging advances.
Reduce Carbon Footprint: Decrease the company’s upstream footprint by 8%; reduce emissions from SC Johnson by 6%; increase the company’s use of renewable energy to 44% of total electricity use worldwide and cut downstream footprint by 2%.
Continue SCJ’s work to improve lives through infectious disease prevention, efforts at the base of the economic pyramid, and community investment and volunteerism.
“At the end of the day, we all want to make the world a better place for our children and our children’s children,” concluded Fisk Johnson, chairman and CEO. “That’s the heart of SC Johnson’s environmental plan, and it’s an aspiration this family company has held dear for 125 years.”
SC Johnson’s retail customers are taking notice. In March, Walmart Canada presented SCJ with its second-annual Vendor Sustainability Award, which recognizes a company’s overall sustainability progress and effort in helping Walmart sell products that sustain both people and the environment. SC Johnson was one of 80 companies considered for the honor. In April, Sam’s Club selected SCJ as its vendor of the year in Brazil and China.
