Our Company is Guided by Principles of Social Responsibility

JohnsonDiversey's deep commitment to social responsibility is specifically expressed in This We Believe, the company's formal statement of guiding principles. Responsibility to the communities where we do business has guided companies controlled by the Johnson Family of Racine, Wisconsin, since the founding of S.C. Johnson & Son in 1886. Those values continue to guide us to this day.

This We Believe says that "we believe in contributing to the well-being of the countries and communities where we conduct business." This belief is evident in our actions.

Our recent commitments, for example, have focused on making improvements to the environment, human health and the well-being of children.

• In a major environmental initiative, JohnsonDiversey is working with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) on the development of a new conservation tool for mapping freshwater flows around the world.
• As a sponsor of the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN), a research and educational program established by the University of Maryland and the United States Food and Drug Administration, JohnsonDiversey has committed both financial and human resources to ensuring the safety of the world's food supply. Toward that end, we partnered with JIFSAN and conducted major food safety conferences for the Vietnamese seafood-farming industry and fruit and vegetable exporters in South America.
• Our Global Children's Initiative centers on the adoption of impoverished elementary schools in the 56 countries in which we have operations. In this initiative, JohnsonDiversey has partnered with the World Forum Foundation, a global network of child-care professionals with an expertise in early childhood development.
  
  While we provide annual financial support to the World Forum Foundation, our Global Children's Initiative is designed to be driven by employee volunteerism. Under this initiative, we have been especially active in promoting personal hygiene with children through our hand washing program.

JohnsonDiversey is deeply committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and to playing an active and assertive role in promoting the economic, social and environmental well-being of our host communities.
