The World Environment Center (WEC) has awarded its 31st Annual Gold Medal for International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development to household cleaning giant SC Johnson.
The company was recognized for its company-wide focus on sustainability and transparency, capped off by its rigorous Greenlist process to improve product ingredients.
The SC Johnson Greenlist ingredient management process focuses on continuously improving ingredients and packaging in the company’s products. The company’s goal is to increase, year-on-year, the percentage of ingredients that has a lower impact on the environment and human health.
In conjunction with its Greenlist process, SC Johnson recently published its restricted use materials list, which is used by product formulators. It has also announced plans to expand its industry-leading ingredient disclosure program by providing product-specific fragrance ingredients and plans to launch the program in Europe later this year.
WEC president & ceo Terry F. Yosie commented: “SC Johnson has achieved a rare feat in that this is the second time it has earned our award, the first having occurred in 1994. These accolades are a testament to the continuity of the company’s leadership over time, and we wish them continued success.”
