Working Here
How do you put company
values into practice?
Each day we come to work, we’re driven by the goodwill of the people, like we have since 1927.
“The goodwill of the people is the only enduring thing in business. It is the sole substance. The rest is shadow.” Herbert F. Johnson Sr., 1927
This philosophy is the bedrock that shapes the way we treat each other at SC Johnson. It holds as much weight today as it did in 1927. We believe our culture and people set us apart from other companies. The people at SC Johnson are competitive, collaborative and ready for anything. They push limits and exceed expectations. It’s this spirit that drives our teams and helps us build iconic brands that improve the world around us.
