Inclusion and 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.
Company Initiatives and Strategies
As a global company with 13,000 employees, we know that work for an inclusive and diverse workplace is never done. We know that the stronger our people are in their understanding, the better impact they have on our communities and purpose of being at work for a better world.
We’re committed to ongoing efforts that help us attract, hire, and retain diverse talent who want to build a positive, inclusive environment. While our initiatives to support learning and drive I&D throughout our company’s work are ever evolving, you can read more about a few of our ongoing efforts below.

Educational Efforts

Community Involvement
Our community efforts focus on building a more sustainable world, a healthier world and a world with more opportunity for all through partnerships, volunteer efforts and/or donations which help people gain access to education or support that enables them to achieve greater potential. Since 1937, we’ve annually given 5 percent of all pretax profits to charity. Recent organizations we’ve supported include Plastic Bank, the United Negro College Fund, Save the Children, Dibujando un Manana, Teach for All, Earthwatch and more.

How SC Johnson defines inclusion, diversity and equity:
Inclusion
Each of us takes accountability in creating a culture that values, respects and appreciates differences because it is who we are and what we stand for.
Diversity
We value the collective richness of the differences people bring to the organization, including style, personality, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and disability – that enables all to bring their full contributions to the organization.
Equity
We support all employees by providing fair, objective, and consistent practices that provide tools and resources to increase access to a successful career and experience within SCJ.
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS AT SC JOHNSON
We’re proud that our employees are dedicated to inclusion and diversity and work hard to create initiatives through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Our ERGs provide opportunities for people at all levels in the company to connect, network, educate others about culture and experiences, and create opportunities for all SCJ people to grow together. And these initiatives aren’t new at SCJ. Some of our employee-led groups have been around for nearly 30 years.
