SC Johnson Green List
SC Johnson maintains a list of ingredients that do not pass the four-step evaluation of SC Johnson's Greenlist™ Programme. This list is termed the “Not Allowable” list.
Every ingredient in every SC Johnson product goes through the rigorous Greenlist™ programme. Its centrepiece is a science-based, four-step evaluation that looks at both hazard and risk.
The four-step evaluation at the heart of the Greenlist™ programme looks at these criteria:
- Chronic human health hazards, such as the potential to cause cancer or reproductive diseases
- Long-term environmental hazards, meaning the potential to persist, accumulate and be toxic in the environment
- Acute risks to human and environmental health, such as mammalian or aquatic toxicity
- Other potential effects, for example whether an ingredient could cause an allergic reaction on the skin
Ingredients that pass each of the steps in our four-step evaluation process are choosen. There are a small number of cases where the best available ingredient, like the active ingredient in an insecticide, might fail one of these steps. If so, it goes through a risk assessment to determine the level that is safe for humans and the environment.
