SC Johnson Receives Best Stakeholder Engagement Award From Justmeans

RACINE, Wis., May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SC Johnson has received the Best Stakeholder Engagement Award for its ingredient communication initiative. The award was given by Justmeans, an organization dedicated to bringing together leading companies in sustainability, at its Social Innovation Awards conference.

"SC Johnson is honored to accept the Best Stakeholder Engagement Award from Justmeans for our ingredient communication initiative," said SC Johnson Senior Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs, Communication and Sustainability, Kelly M. Semrau. "As a company that is committed to families and transparency, the initiative is about sharing information so families know they can trust our products."

Announced in 2009, SC Johnson's industry leading ingredient communication program voluntarily provides ingredient information for the company's home cleaning, air care and home storage products such as Windex®, Shout®, Glade® and Ziploc®. All ingredients will be listed, including dyes, preservatives and fragrance ingredients. SC Johnson's program goes beyond the industry right-to-know initiative by making the information available through not one but three ways – a dedicated web site, a toll-free number and on product labels; and by also offering the information in both English and Spanish.

The Justmeans Social Innovation Awards conference examined the most crucial sustainable business ideas and initiatives including integrated reporting, trends in disclosure requirements, and sustainable investment as a tool for risk mitigation.
