March 21, 2007—SC Johnson has announced that Five Winds International has become the company’s third-party administrator to license SC Johnson’s Greenlist process to other companies royalty-free. Greenlist is SC Johnson’s award-winning, patented environmental classification system.
Under the agreement, Five Winds will work with companies interested in licensing Greenlist to improve the environmental profile of their products.
In 2001, SC Johnson devised Greenlist, a raw material rating system, to transform the way the company measures, tracks, and advances its products to further the company’s commitment to environmentally responsible products. Companies looking to license Greenlist must be willing to establish measurable goals and report on them annually, says SC Johnson.
Because the Greenlist process is highly adaptable, companies licensing Greenlist will be able to adapt the patented process to reflect their own unique chemicals and materials, says SC Johnson. The companies will also get a proven management system of establishing, evaluating, and reporting on performance against measurable objectives.
As part of the collaboration, in addition to evaluating and recommending potential licensee candidates to SC Johnson, Five Winds International will train participating companies on the Greenlist process and its implementation.
