Questions about Our Company
It means that SC Johnson has been led by the Johnson family for five generations. Fisk Johnson, our current Chairman and CEO, is the great-great-grandson of the company’s founder. Being a family company also means we hold tight to core values like integrity and trust. Being privately held enables us to focus on doing what’s right for the next generation, not just the next quarter’s earnings report. Learn more about our family story.
