Peace Advocacy Expert
How does your producer participate in worldwide protections for employees and business programs?
SE Johnson, the company that produces Windex, states on its website that it is committed to “Respecting people and supporting universal human rights, adhering to all local laws and regulations regarding products and how they’re made, choosing more earth-responsible ingredients, reducing emissions, waste and the use of fossil fuels, and we’re now looking at new ways to minimize landfill impact, and contributing to our host communities through philanthropic contributions and local volunteerism.” SE Johnson employees take part in multiple volunteer projects in a large number of countries. These projects range from cleaning up a nature reserve in Mexico to sponsoring leaning in poor communities in India to raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to help repair homes damaged by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011. They have also started a partnership to help farmers in Rwanda improve their practices so that SC Johnson can purchase their products to make their own products. All of these peace-promoting projects have helped multiple people, animals and communities around the world.
Windex’s chemical manufacturers are required by HAZCOM, whose goal is to keep employees safe, to create Material Safety Data Sheets for each of its products on containers. These data sheets list the ingredients and any risks they may pose, and they must be made available to employees. The company is also required to train employees to use the products safely and to teach emergency procedures. In addition, businesses using a Windex product must have Material Safety Data Sheets pertaining to the product.
SE Johnson has also been named one of the best companies for working moms by Working Mother Magazine. The company offers lactation rooms, a Business Travel-Childcare Reimbursement program, flexible work schedules, and a learning center for children at select locations. In 2012-2013, SE Johnson was named on “great place to work” in Argentina Central, America, Canada, Chile, India, Latin, Mexico, UK, Portugal, Spain, and Venezuela.
It has also been called, by many, a family-friendly employer and a company that places importance on diversity. SE Johnson scored 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. Its chairman, Fisk Johnson, said that “Treating our people with respect, integrity and fairness is not just what’s right, it’s what our company culture is built on. SC Johnson applauds all the companies on this list who share our passion for family and worklife programs.”
