The multi-year partnership builds on SC Johnson’s journey to improve the sustainability of its products.

As part of this effort, the company has spent years working with industry experts to understand barriers to circularity and to find solutions to overcome them.

“Plastic pollution is an enormous problem, and it is going to take businesses, governments, consumers and civil society working together to solve it," said Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson.

"We're all going to have to come together, and Ellen and the Foundation have done an excellent job creating an opportunity for partnership and progress.”

“We are delighted to welcome SC Johnson as a Global Partner and look forward to the progress we can drive together, towards an economy that works in the long term.”
