RACINE, Wis., March 1, 2010 – SC Johnson ranks fourth in the Consumer Products category on Fast Company magazine annual Most Innovative Companies list. Fast Company’s team analyzed information on thousands of businesses across the globe to identify companies that use creative models and have progressive cultures. The companies that made the list were commended for their real-world impact, far-sighted risk taking and innovative execution.
Fast Company recognized 250 companies this year. “It was invigorating to engage with so many exciting new ideas and developments,” said Fast Company editor Robert Safian. “Our goal was to offer a snapshot of the creativity at work in the global marketplace, and to inspire the Fast Company audience with illustrations of how powerful and effective business can be.”
