Inclusion & Diversity at SC Johnson
At SC Johnson, inclusion and diversity efforts aren’t just boxes to check or a way to get positive publicity. We don’t just go through the motions. Rather, we focus on inclusion and diversity with energy and sincerity because it’s the right thing to do, it’s who we are and it’s true to our core values and heritage.
We make inclusion and diversity a priority today and for the future through a variety of programs and initiatives around the world.
“Our consumers are as diverse as the entire world, and so are SC Johnson people. We recognize the breadth of human experience, and we work to celebrate it.”
– Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO
