Clorox receives honorary distinction for seventh time, demonstrating
continued commitment to product stewardship
OAKLAND, Calif.,
Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) was named a 2024 Safer Choice
Partner of the Year award winner for its outstanding achievement in the
manufacturing of products with ingredients that the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) designates as safer for families, pets,
workplaces, communities, and the environment.
The Clorox Company was named a 2024 Safer Choice Partner of the Year award
winner by the EPA.
This is the company's seventh time receiving this award in the
formulation/product manufacturing award category, previously recognized as
a Safer Choice Partner of the Year in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022 and
2023.
The Safer Choice and Design for the Environment labels help consumers and
organizations find products that perform and are made with safer
ingredients. Several U.S. Clorox products carry the EPA's Safer Choice or
Design for the Environment labels, which signals to consumers that their
ingredients have met rigorous human and environmental health criteria.
This includes Clorox® Free and Clear products (Multi-Surface Cleaner and
Compostable Cleaning Wipes) as well as the CloroxPro® EcoClean product
line (All Purpose Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, Disinfecting Cleaner, and
Disinfecting Wipes).
"With products in 9 out of 10 U.S. homes, Clorox has an immense
responsibility and opportunity to champion ingredient transparency and
advocacy while supporting environmental health," said Lisa Pankiewicz,
Vice President Global Stewardship at The Clorox Company. "Being named a
Safer Choice Partner is critical to maintaining trust with our consumers
and reflects our dedication to world-class product stewardship."
Ingredient transparency and advocacy are critical elements of Clorox's
environmental, social, governance, or ESG, goals embedded in the company's
corporate IGNITE strategy. Representing a key benchmark in this ongoing
work, this award supports Clorox's commitment to enhance consumer
confidence in its products through certification programs.
This recognition also builds upon Clorox's longstanding product
stewardship efforts, including becoming the first major consumer packaged
goods company to voluntarily disclose ingredients in the U.S. retail and
professional cleaning, disinfecting and laundry products over a decade
ago.
