SC Johnson

Job Titles:
  • Founder Left Enduring Legacies
We're Pledge®, Glade®, OFF!®, Mr Muscle® and many other brands you know. SC Johnson is a 5th generation owned family company, which means we don't answer to Wall Street. We do what's right for people and the planet because our priority is you. When he died in 1919 at age 86, Samuel left behind a thriving business, an enduring tradition of philanthropy and a family company devoted to making life better for families. On his passing, a eulogy in the local paper celebrated his most important contribution: "To enumerate the charity of this grand old man is quite a task; he led a most simple life, living plainly but lavish in his gifts. His special interest was in young people and helping them to help themselves. No one will ever know the help he has given to the needy and struggling humanity." Samuel struggled most of his life, but when he succeeded, he thought not of himself, but how to give back. That's a lesson we still try to follow to this day. We are all certainly better off thanks to his enduring legacies.
