Statements on Climate Change
“When we confront the enormity and complexity of global climate change, the lesson learned should be that there’s not one problem; there’s a universe of them, and they are ever changing.  And there’s not one solution; there are as many solutions as there are problems.  Those of us who have tried to exercise leadership and responsibility in our stewardship of the environment don’t have all the solutions, but we have some, and we think they’re good ones.  Over the next decade we can reduce greenhouse gases in real terms, not illusionary ones.  As a privately held family company, I will tell you we will not abdicate our ethical responsibility to the environment.”  -Chairman and CEO, SC Johnson

Climate Change Targets
SC Johnson plans to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by eight percent compared to its 2005 baseline and cut greenhouse gas emissions from all our worldwide factories by 12 percent compared to its 2000 baseline by 2011.
