RACINE, Wis., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As a

by Great Place to Work® Institute, marking the company's
second consecutive year on the list. The ranking is the world's
largest annual study of workplace excellence, identifying the top
25 best multinationals in terms of workplace culture.
"Nothing is more important to us than the thousands of people
who are a part of the SC Johnson family around the world," said
Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson. "We are honored to be
recognized as a top 25 best multinational company for our workplace
culture and to be included on multiple Great Place to Work® lists
around the globe. These recognitions demonstrate our commitment to
the diverse individuals that work hard every day to make this
company a success."

of data from nearly 1,800 companies that were named on a national
Great Place to Work® list in more than 45 countries.
"The companies listed on the second-annual World's Best
Multinational Workplaces List are creating workplaces dedicated to
