Comments: Sales rose less than 1% last year, according to Happi estimates. Whether sales are up or down, SC Johnson has always been a strong advocate for the environment. In April, SCJ launched the first film in a series of human-interest pieces that highlight the global plastic pollution crisis and how it impacts people around the world.

The Human Side of Plastic: Babacar Thiaw, follows a surfer and restaurateur named Babacar Thiaw in his coastal hometown of Dakar, Senegal. It shares the extraordinary yet simple changes he implemented to reduce waste in his community. After watching the film, viewers are encouraged to visit blueparadox.com to ask legislators to support stronger regulation of plastics through frameworks like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). After learning of various ways he could reduce plastic waste in his day-to-day, Babacar turns the surf club he owns into the first zero-waste restaurant in the community, including eliminating single-use items, focusing on reusable alternatives and buying in bulk. The change inspired nearly 70 other restaurants to follow his lead.

“Our goal with these human-interest stories is to show how plastic waste is affecting people around the world,” said SCJ Chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson. “We are bringing the plastic pollution issue directly to the public to help galvanize a movement to get people to use the power of their voices to help us ask politicians for stronger plastic regulation and an international plastic pollution treaty.”

An Ongoing Commitment to Tackle Global Issues

Its 2024 Better World Accountability Report highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to tackle global issues such as plastic pollution and insect-borne diseases.

“I’m encouraged by the progress SC Johnson people around the globe continue to make on important issues that affect our world today,” said Fisk Johnson. “Together, we’re committed to be part of the solution and continue our efforts to reduce our plastic impact, fight against insect-borne disease, minimize our carbon impact and help support families and communities in the world. I look forward to the progress we can keep making together.”

In 2024, SCJ Achieved two key plastic targets, reducing virgin plastic and incorporating recycled materials into packaging. Both a year ahead of the 2025 commitment in the 2024 Global Commitment Progress Report. SCJ also exceeded its goal to reduce company-wide absolute emissions by 70% since 2000 and continues working to increase its global energy use from renewable sources for all operations to 48%. In other packaging efforts, SCJ continued to raise awareness about plastic pollution through its The Blue Paradox exhibit at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The exhibit advocates for stronger plastics regulation and supports a strong, reasonable Global Plastics Treaty. SCJohnson boasts the highest percentage of reusable plastic packaging in the global commitment’s household and personal care sector at 12%, according to the Treaty.

In the fight against insect-borne disease, SCJ has reached more than 110 million people since 2013 via public health initiatives, education and repellent distribution. It served more than 5 million people across 82 SC Johnson community health clinics globally, including 78 in Rwanda, two in Tanzania, and one each in Indonesia and South Sudan.  SCJ continues investing in developing, testing and producing spatial repellents, SC Johnson Guardian and SC Johnson Mosquito Shield, as low-cost prevention tools for insect-borne diseases.
