Clorox Partnership Supports Suppliers With Sustainability Tracking

Clorox suppliers across raw materials and packaging will be able to measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions.

The Clorox Company is advancing on its sustainability goals, elevating data visibility through a new partnership that allows supplier partners to record their efforts.

The company is working with Manufacture 2030, or M2030, to consolidate supplier sustainability data within a single platform, allowing supplier partners to share their progress. Through this, Clorox can access relevant data and export it for submissions to the Carbon Disclosure Project, a global disclosure system for managing environmental data.

Clorox suppliers across raw materials and packaging will be able to measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions, using the platform as a tool to meet carbon reduction targets and help Clorox reach net-zero emissions by 2050. 

Niki King, chief sustainability officer at Clorox, said the initiative is part of the company’s responsibility to ensure that suppliers are equipped with the necessary tools for forging their own sustainability journeys.

“Climate action is a complex endeavor that requires companies to engage all parts of their supply chain in order to meaningfully reduce their environmental impact,” she added.

The company plans a gradual rollout of the tool to participating suppliers, which collectively represent more than half of Clorox’s Scope 3 emissions.

Eva Choe, chief procurement officer at Clorox, said it builds on its business partner code of conduct that emphasizes sustainable business practices.
