Strategy 2.1 Please select the option that best describes your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Integrated into multi-disciplinary company wide risk management processes 2.1a Please provide further details At SC Johnson, sustainability is embedded throughout the organization. Our holistic approach to sustainability includes climate change risk assessment and management as a key element. We monitor media for consumer response and public opinion, scientific literature for changes in risks and opportunities for mitigation, the regulatory space for changes in regulations and activity with third party organizations to monitor trends which may negatively impact our corporate reputation if not appropriately addressed. These risks are monitored continuously for their potential impact on the company as a whole and for any possible impact at the local subsidiary level. In this way, urgent issues can be dealt with as they arise. In addition, quarterly reports are compiled and evaluated. Quarterly reporting matches the frequency with which the Corporate Executive Committee (CEC) and Board of Directors track progress against SC Johnson’s annual goals, and such reports are reviewed by the CEC as a part of this process When a new climate change risk arises or a change in an already identified risk occurs, the Corporate Sustainability department evaluates the situation and any potential impacts before making a recommendation to the CEC. Opportunities are evaluated taking into account, among other factors, the potential impact to the company, available resources, and various financial metrics, including return on investment and capital expenditure required for execution of the plan. 2.2 Is climate change integrated into your business strategy? Yes 2.2a Please describe the process and outcomes For decades, SC Johnson has been steadfast in its environmental commitment and spirit of innovation. For SC Johnson, creating sustainable environmental value means protecting resources and the planet for future generations. That goal influences how the company powers its operations, develops its formulas, and manufactures and packages its products. The company recognizes the need for business to address global climate change. SC Johnson’s purpose is to make the world a better place by building superior brands and businesses that are a positive force in the world’s economy. It is committed to achieving this while simultaneously doing what is right for employees, consumers, customers, the communities the company is a part of and the environment. And because SC Johnson is a private company, we can take a long-term view that publicly traded companies focusing on short-term gains may not be able to take. The company’s sustainability efforts target four key platform areas where SC Johnson can make the biggest impact on quality of life, economic progress, the company’s product mix and the planet. These platforms are: Fewer Resources, Less Waste, Winning Products and overall doing Greater Good. Using Fewer Resources is the most pertinent for discussions of climate change, and SC Johnson works to keep carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere by reducing fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions through a wide range of innovative efforts at all global facilities and throughout its value chain. For more than a decade, SC Johnson has continually established and achieved goals that have helped the company lessen its impact on the world. SC Johnson believes that to make gains, goals must be set. That is why in 2000, the company established its first greenhouse gas emissions benchmark for its five largest international manufacturing plants. In 2002, two more SC Johnson plants voluntarily joined the efforts as well. In addition, that year SC Johnson joined the U.S. Climate Leaders program and set a second GHG reduction goal that covered all U.S. operations. By 2005, the company had surpassed its goals for both the United States and for its seven largest plants. So in 2007, aggressive new objectives were announced for 2011 to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 8% versus the 2005 baseline and cut greenhouse gas emissions from all worldwide factories by 12% versus the 2000 baseline. Thanks to ongoing efficiency improvements as well as renewable energy projects, by 2011 the company had achieved a 26% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, SC Johnson far surpassed our objective, cutting emissions 27% versus 2005. Once again in 2011, we set new goals for the future. Our 2016 sustainability goals include the following: - Reduce our carbon footprint by decreasing our upstream footprint by 8%, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from our worldwide factories by another 6%, increase our use of renewable energy
