Mrs. Meyer's' Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Mrs. Meyer's is rated Fair because it has started to improve its products and packaging, but still has room to grow.

Mrs. Meyer's has committed to avoiding many ingredients that pose a threat to the climate, including parabens, phthalates, petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil, and PFAS. It has reduced its waste and emissions by using concentrated formulas for some of its products, encouraging reusing its containers, offering lower-waste refills for most of its products, and reducing its packaging plastic use. However, while Mrs. Meyer's has made commitments, it still uses some ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including petrochemical-based ingredients. Mrs. Meyer's uses primarily plastic packaging of a virgin or undisclosed source, which contributes greatly to waste production and excess energy use.

Mrs. Meyer's is owned by SC Johnson.


  • Ingredients

    Mrs. Meyer's has made ingredient commitments to lower its environmental impact, including by avoiding parabens, phthalates, petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil, and PFAS. While it has made commitments, it still uses some ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including some petrochemical-based ingredients. Its products incorporate bio-based and/or biodegradable ingredients and upcycled materials. It carries products that have certifications from Leaping Bunny.


  • Containers & Packaging

    Mrs. Meyer's offers some of its products in a concentrated format, which reduces shipping emissions and minimizes packaging use. It uses eco-friendly materials in its product containers, including ones that are recyclable.


  • Energy & Water Use

    Mrs. Meyer's parent company, SC Johnson, reports on its energy strategy. It uses renewable energy sourced from solar, wind, and geothermal sources in some of its corporate offices. It also implements energy efficiency measures in its production sites and corporate offices by building to LEED-Platinum certification. It doesn't report on any water efficiency measures.


  • Refill & Reuse

    Mrs. Meyer's enables and encourages reusing its product containers. Mrs. Meyer's offers bulk sizes or low-waste refill options for most products.


  • Slow Cleaning

    Mrs. Meyer's offers seasonal scents, which can encourage overconsumption and production of excess inventory.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Mrs. Meyer's has a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy, but this page is hard to find on its site. Its parent company, SC Johnson, publishes annual reports with high-level information on initiatives and impact. Mrs. Meyer's shares a complete list of ingredients used in its products.


  • Emissions Tracking

    The parent company of Mrs. Meyer's, SC Johnson, measures its emissions on an organization-wide level but doesn't transparently report its data to the public. Its annual reports leave out scope 3, and Commons could only find scope 1 and 2 represented proportionally in charts, without quantifiable core values to analyze.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Commons couldn't find evidence that Mrs. Meyer's or its parent company, SC Johnson, has emissions reduction targets or offsets.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Its parent company, SC Johnson, reports generally on labor conditions, sharing that its supplier code of conduct includes a provision for no forced labor. Commons couldn't find its full code of conduct or information about its supply chain partners.
