"We don't answer to the short-term whims of the stock market," explained Chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson. "As a family company, we work hard to do what's right for the long term. So we can take the time and invest what's needed to make the best choices we can for the families who use our products – because they have to live up to our family standards. Our SC Johnson Greenlist™ process and launch of product-specific fragrance disclosure demonstrate this commitment brought to life."

Research shows that trust in business has deteriorated, with less than half of people in many countries reporting that they trust companies to do what's right.* In this landscape, SC Johnson aims to show how it stands apart. The company's latest advertising campaign shares how as a private, family-led organization, SC Johnson works to hold itself to a higher standard.

This unique perspective is further spotlighted in the 2015 sustainability report, which shares how the company's standards, actions, connections and legacies all demonstrate its unique family company perspective.

Among the progress SC Johnson shares in its newest report:

The report also continues SC Johnson's commitment to transparency about how it makes decisions and the results of these choices. An eight-page section discusses the company's standards, the SC Johnson Greenlist™ process, and SC Johnson's supply chain and sourcing commitments.
