(CSRwire) SC Johnson's Public Report 2003 provides information for you and your readers about our family company and our continuing progress in product innovation, market growth, workplace excellence, community service and environmental leadership.

In this year's report, you'll learn about our innovative products and our groundbreaking effort known as Greenlist(TM), a process that represents a significant contribution to protecting the environment. Also, you can discover what makes this 117-year-old consumer products company a great place to work. And, you can review the progress we've made toward improving the quality of life for people around the world through the SC Johnson Fund, Inc., and our other philanthropic efforts.

The Public Report 2003 marks the twelfth year this family company has informed consumers and the media about its activities. When we published the first of these annual summaries, we were among fewer than 50 privately held companies commenting openly on their programs and policies.

This report extends our leadership and advances the principles of sustainability by leveraging digital technology -- using both the Internet and CD-ROM -- to expand the reach of the report and make it even more accessible to employees, consumers and the media.

"Consumers trust SC Johnson to deliver quality products like WINDEX(TM), PLEDGE(TM), GLADE(TM), SHOUT(TM), ZIPLOC(TM), EDGE(TM) AND RAID(TM)," said Jane Hutterly, Senior Vice President - Worldwide Corporate Affairs. "They should expect that same quality from our public reporting, and we're striving to meet their expectations through this exciting medium."
