Living our Values

Helping the World Experience Greater Health and Wellness

GOJO Industries has improved ways to keep hands—and the surfaces they frequently touch—clean. For more than 75 years, our team has been shaping a better future for everyone. It's all rooted in our GOJO Purpose of Saving Lives and Making Life Better Through Well-Being Solutions.

Now, millions of people use our products every day. The clearest symbol of our commitment to health and well-being is the PURELL® Brand. It's a badge of trust recognized in hospitals, restaurants, schools, businesses, airports, entertainment venues, and homes worldwide.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Value

The GOJO Purpose is at the center of everything we do. That’s why we’ve researched for three generations to develop high-quality formulations, safe chemistry, and energy efficiency. We have a whole-systems approach to social, environmental, and economic sustainability, including certification as a WBE, product certifications, and a vertically integrated supply chain. With our strong foundation in place, we're advancing our Sustainable Value strategy and action plan.

Certified Women-Owned

As a WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprise, we make it easier to track diverse supplier spend.

Environmental Leadership

We advance environmental sustainability at every step. We power our facilities and source materials responsibly and use conscientious formulations with a continued focus on recyclable design.

Secure Supply

We've vertically integrated our 5 U.S.-based manufacturing facilities. Significant investments in capital equipment provide supply assurance no matter the demand.

Supporting Our Value for the Long-Term

Guided by the GOJO Purpose, we're supporting our long-term business strategies by investigating how we can meet sustainability goals daily.
