GOJO Sustainability
Hygiene Solutions that are Good for People and Better for the Planet
Living our Values
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-OwnedAs a WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprise, we make it easier to track diverse supplier spend.
Environmental LeadershipWe 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 SupplyWe'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
