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, 202, 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.
