The GOJO Purpose drives every decision our Family Enterprise makes, from the products we create to the ways that we work. From our founding on a safer way to clean working hands to our leading-edge approach to reducing the spread of disease-causing germs on hands and the surfaces they touch, our powerful Purpose inspires our commitment to better solutions. We continuously innovate to develop well-being solutions that create a healthier ecosystem and improve the lives of those we touch.

This is our seventh Sustainability Report and our third year creating a GRI-referenced report. This material references the 2016 GRI Standards, and each Standard used can be found in the GRI Content Index. GRI is an independent organization and global leader in sustainability standards. The GRI framework helps businesses, governments and organizations around the world measure and communicate consistently. We look to third parties, such as GRI, to hold ourselves accountable and to align our strategic sustainability priorities with the changing world around us.

Although GOJO is not required to report on sustainability progress, we believe it is important to keep ourselves accountable and keep stakeholders informed so they can see our Sustainable Value Strategies and Goals in action, understand the plan and influence work going forward.
