Approach to Healthcare

SC Johnson Professional approaches healthcare by prioritising infection prevention, skin integrity, and evidence‑based hygiene practices. We support healthcare organisations with systems that reduce the spread of pathogens while protecting the skin of clinicians, patients, and visitors. Our approach centres on:
– Science‑based hygiene guidance, aligned with global standards and public health recommendations.
– End‑user experience, ensuring dispensers, soaps, and sanitisers are intuitive, effective, and pleasant to use.
– Sustainable solutions, reducing waste and environmental impact without compromising clinical performance.
– Partnership with healthcare teams, helping facilities implement consistent, compliant hand hygiene programmes.
This approach reflects our mission to create safe, healthy environments in a sustainable way.

Impact of Product/Services on Healthcare

SC Johnson Professional’s hand hygiene systems contribute to healthcare by:
– Reducing infection transmission through effective handwashing and sanitising formulations that support WHO‑aligned hygiene practices.
– Improving compliance with well‑designed colour coded dispensers, clear instructions, and products that encourage frequent use.
– Protecting skin health, which is essential for staff wellbeing and long‑term compliance—particularly in high‑frequency handwashing environments.
– Supporting public health initiatives, including global hand hygiene guidelines that reinforce the importance of proper handwashing in preventing illness.

Innovation

Innovation at SC Johnson Professional is driven by a commitment to improving real‑world hygiene outcomes in healthcare through practical, evidence‑based design. A key focus has been enhancing the use of hand sanitiser at the point of care, including ongoing work to optimise bed‑end bracket systems. By improving accessibility, visibility, and ease of use at the bedside, these developments support higher compliance and more consistent hand hygiene moments during patient care.
Alongside this, the OPTIDOSE™ technology platform represents a major step forward in dosing accuracy and standardisation. Delivering a precise, clinically validated 1.5 mL dose every time, OPTIDOSE™ reduces variability, improves coverage, and strengthens the reliability of sanitising practices. Together, these innovations reflect a broader strategy: designing systems that make correct hand hygiene easier, more intuitive, and more consistent for healthcare workers.

Future Direction

Our short‑term direction in healthcare focuses on accelerating the growth and development of the OPTIDOSE™ technology platform. OPTIDOSE™ already delivers a precise, clinically validated 1.5 mL dose of hand sanitiser every time, and we see this as the foundation for more consistent, measurable, and auditable hand hygiene across healthcare environments. By reducing variability in dose size, OPTIDOSE™ helps infection prevention teams improve technique, ensure full hand coverage, and strengthen compliance. This work reflects our commitment to improving the reliability of hand hygiene, protecting healthcare workers, and reducing the risk of infection transmission.
