JohnsonDiversey's environmental stewardship includes entire product life cycle from design through disposal

JohnsonDiversey is committed to environmental stewardship in our product design, production, use and disposal.

  • We established a Global Action List which guides our scientists in the use of chemicals for our products. The Global Action List prohibits or restricts the use of more than 60 chemicals or classes of chemicals. The list enables us to avoid the use of compounds that have unfavorable effects on the environment or human health. The Global Action List is reviewed, updated and republished annually based on the latest scientific information available.
  • We follow specific internal policies on the use of dyes, fragrances and preservatives to assure that our products, used properly, are safe for users and for the environment.
  • We employ strict criteria in product packaging. These criteria restrict the use of environmentally hazardous packaging such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and establish standards for packaging efficiency, recycled content and recyclability of our product packaging.
  • Our staff of toxicologists assess the risks to humans and the environment of all our products.
  • We do not test any products on animals unless such testing is required by law. We support alternative methods of testing.
  • Our products are labeled with accurateand complete warnings, and material safetydata sheets (MSDS). Product hazardsare published in multiple languages onmany products.
  • All environmental claims in our product literature meet our strict guidelines on accuracy, validity and verifiability.
  • Our products are backed by a dedicated poison control center in case of accidental exposure.
  • We are an industry leader in the production and sale of green-certified products, with more than 100 products certified by independent, third-party groups such as Green Seal, EcoLogo, EU Flower and Nordic Swan.
  • We are the only company to have an entire cleaning system — products, tools and procedures — certified by GreenGuard for indoor air quality.
