GOJO, MAKERS OF PURELL™, is a third-generation, purpose-driven Family Enterprise committed to nurturing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture both at GOJO and out in the world. Since its founding by Goldie and Jerry Lippman, women have played critical roles in the leadership of the company.
GOJO is led by Marcella Kanfer Rolnick, Executive Chair and the third generation of family leadership, and Carey Jaros, President and CEO. Our sustainability commitment continues today and includes social, environmental, and economic initiatives.
We are certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the largest certifier of women's business enterprises in the U.S. and a leading advocate for women business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs. It’s also the most respected and well-known national certification program for women-owned businesses.
Being a WBE aligns with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and to creating sustainable value for all of our stakeholders. Our WBENC certification is a reflection of how we live our GOJO Values in real and impactful ways and allows us to connect more directly with the diverse business community as both a supplier and a customer.
As a WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprise, we can help you and the people you serve foster diversity and equity in manufacturing – helping you meet your supplier diversity goals. With our certification, verifying our status as a women-owned enterprise is easy and hassle-free, making it easier for you and your customers to track your commitment to diverse supplier spend.
We offer a portfolio of trusted products for hands and surfaces – and with our WBENC certification, you can feel even better about your purchase because it helps you make progress toward your goals for supplier diversity.
GOJO Industries invented PURELL® hand sanitizer more than 30 years ago and is a leading global producer of skin health and hygiene solutions. We invented the first commercial soap dispenser in 1952, and our dispensing technology is engineered with attention to design, sustainability, and functionality. Our portfolio includes The PURELL SOLUTION™ – a complete set of uncompromising hand hygiene and surface products.
Our products use the latest advances in science and sustainability, state-of-the-art dispensing technologies, and formulations that you can feel great about offering. Our solutions are trusted by customers and end users, making it easier to recommend and choose the PURELL® brand.
Supplier diversity is a key component of procurement and sustainability strategies. GOJO also has many other initiatives to support sustainability, including commitments to initiatives for social, environmental, and economic sustainability. With many of our products now certified by the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Product Standard and our thoughtful investments in manufacturing, supply chain, and product design, we continue to make choices that help you reach goals and deliver solutions that are good for people and better for the planet.
