Since 1937, SC Johnson has committed to helping make communities better where they operate, aiming to improve places significantly because they are there. This commitment is a continuation of the vision of their founder, Samuel Curtis Johnson, and is a vital part of their corporate values. The company has consistently dedicated five percent of all pre-tax profits to charities, supporting the endeavor of SC Johnson Giving, Inc., their charitable foundation established nearly six decades ago.
SC Johnson grants and product donations are guided by the principle of positively impacting communities where the company has operations. The grant program focuses on three primary areas: creating a healthier world by addressing vector-borne diseases, enhancing healthcare systems, managing food insecurity, and enabling healthier living outcomes; promoting a more sustainable world through initiatives aimed at reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic waste, supporting environmental conservation with an emphasis on healthy oceans and forests, and carbon reduction initiatives; and fostering a world with more opportunity by strengthening communities, advancing economic and social mobility, and ensuring equal access to education and housing. The program encompasses both responses to specific grant requests and proactive contributions designed to meet directly identified needs by the company.
