H.F. Johnson, Jr., the third-generation leader of SC Johnson, used to say that in order to have a healthy environment inside a company, you have to have a healthy environment outside in the community. In other words, community leadership is not only the right thing to do to help make your community strong, it’s right for business too.
In 1976, this belief, along with other key tenets, was formalized in
This We Believe, the statement of principles that guides our company to this day.
