S.C. Johnson & Son

SC Johnson & Son, Inc. is a privately held U.S.-based manufacturer of household brands including Windex, Glade, Raid, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles, Ziploc, and OFF!. The company has faced multiple environmental penalties in the United States for chemical emissions, pesticide infractions, and waste management failures, totaling roughly 37 million in fines over the past two decades. It conducts animal testing in jurisdictions where it is legally required, despite public commitments to prefer non-animal methods. SC Johnson sources palm oil derivatives and has committed to 100% RSPO-certified supply by 2025, but its policies do not fully address Free, Prior, and Informed Consent for Indigenous and local communities, leaving gaps in human rights protections. The company operates S.C. Johnson Israel Ltd. (incorporated 2005) and distributes brands in Israel through local distributors such as Diplomat. Danshar Group reports holding a 48% stake in SC Johnson Israel. This indicates commercial presence in Israel, but no verified involvement in settlement activity or military contracting.

SC Johnson is also an active political actor in the U.S., maintaining a federal PAC and engaging in regular lobbying activity, including in the 2024 election cycle.
