SC Johnson is Going Transparent

SC Johnson has listened to the good women who want to know what is in products before buying them -- "By 2012, the company will voluntarily disclose the ingredients it uses in the fragrances and dyes and provide expanded information on preservatives in its products."
They also now have a site Whats Inside SC Johnson for more details. 
Thanks to consumers co-creating a new market by demanding better, SC Johnson is responding. They have a history of doing better, now it's up to the consumer to reinforce that effort as buyers. Next I'd like to see them tackle the packaging problem using less plastic.

  • 2008 – SC Johnson awarded the U.S. EPA Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative Award for the elimination of all nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactant from its products.
  • 2006 – In recognition of its patented, award-winning Greenlist™ process, an environmental classification system to help green its chemistry, SC Johnson is awarded the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award and Ron Brown Award for Corporate Leadership.
  • 2003 – SC Johnson received the first-ever Lifetime Atmospheric Achievement Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
