The Clorox Company

Championing people starts with building a culture where they can do their best work and that enables us to make a meaningful, positive impact on the world around us. Landing a spot on the TIME list of America's Best Mid-Size Companies — and ranking No. 6 in sustainability transparency — signals our continued success in achieving growth while living our purpose and values. #CloroxIsThePlace https://lnkd.in/gAguYxBU

To mark its 40th anniversary, our Burt's Bees brand is celebrating its cofounder's passion for preserving wilderness with a campaign that's taking everyone back to the summer of 1984. It features a limited-edition launch of Wild Blueberry lip balm that's a nod to the business's Maine heritage, a Summer 1984 merch collection and a sweepstakes.

IN THE NEWS: Burt's Bees co-founder Roxanne Quimby talked to Forbes about the latest chapter in her legacy: putting lip balm profits toward land preservation in the state where the business got its start. In 2016, she donated 87,500 acres of Maine woodlands to the U.S. government, which has now become Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.

Our #Pride celebrations culminated last weekend with more than 65 teammates and their friends and family marching in the Toronto Pride Parade. Over the course of the event, we distributed about 2,500 branded towels, 1,000 Clorox On-The-Go Disinfecting Wipes and several thousand coupons. At Clorox, we have had a longtime commitment to inclusion and diversity, serving as an active ally for LGBTQ+ equality in the places where we live and work. Our sponsorship of the parade is one way we're creatively bringing #IDEA to life — growing our brands, engaging our people and supporting our communities all at once. #CloroxIsthePlace

Confronted by challenges, our people never fail to rise to the occasion. After our Glad plant in Rogers, Arkansas, was hit directly by a tornado in late May, it took leadership and quick thinking to keep everyone safe. Check out our blog to learn about their experiences and how, together, thanks to heroic contributions by so many, they were able to restore operations — within just 48 hours. https://lnkd.in/g3GqC2yR #CloroxIsThePlace

Our Hidden Valley brand is always looking for new ways for its fans to enjoy their favorite condiment.

Our people rolled up their sleeves and got their hands a little dirty this past month to give back to their communities. They helped clean up a park in Pleasanton, California, that's part of East Bay Regional Park District and a neglected garden at the North Carolina Museum of Art, enhancing their appearance and restoring biodiversity. A Homies Empowerment community garden also was restored, providing a positive alternative to gang involvement for local youth. Thank you to our Corporate Accounting and Legal and Government Affairs teams for your dedication and (literal) grit! This volunteer work is not only important to them, but it's also core to who we are.
