This year, SC Johnson celebrates 120 years since its founding as a parquet flooring company by Samuel Curtis Johnson. For 12 decades, we have built a legacy of leadership from innovative products, to exceptional corporate responsibility, to generous employee benefits.

In addition, 2006 marks the 50-year anniversaries of two of SC Johnson’s flagship brands: Raid® insecticides and Glade® air care products. Throughout five decades, both brands have transformed the categories in which they compete, bringing to market innovations such as continuous action electric insect repellents, the first electric air freshener and the first household product to eliminate odors by killing bacteria in the air.

SC Johnson also has been honored for excellence and commitment in environmental and social responsibility. Here are a few highlights:

Ron Brown Award for Corporate Leadership
SC Johnson received this presidential award for deep commitment to innovative programs that are right for business, people and communities. We were recognized for our Greenlist™ process, through which we continue to lead the way with responsible raw material choices.

Manufacturing Excellence in The Netherlands
SC Johnson’s Europlant manufacturing facility in Mijdrecht, The Netherlands, was awarded second prize in the 2005 Utrecht Provincial Milieuprijs competition, which recognizes companies that make a positive contribution to the environment. Europlant was recognized for its environmental plan that seeks to reduce waste and save energy.

Social Responsibility Recognition in Mexico
For the sixth consecutive year, SC Johnson Mexico received the Socially Responsible Enterprise Award from the Mexican Center for Philanthropy – Centro Mexicano para la Filantropia (CEMEFI). It recognizes companies that base their vision and social commitment on policies and programs that benefit business and have a positive impact on the community.

Climate Leadership
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cited SC Johnson among the first corporations to achieve voluntary greenhouse gas reduction goals set through its Climate Leaders program. Since joining the program as a charter partner in 2002 – the first consumer products company to do so – SC Johnson has reduced U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 23 percent per pound of product, making it one of only four companies and one government organization to achieve its 2005 goals.

A “Best Place to Work”
In addition, SC Johnson is widely recognized as an employer of choice at our workplaces around the world. The company was again listed among the Top 10 of the “100 Best Places to Work For in America,” according to FORTUNE magazine — our sixth appearance on the prestigious list.
