A Longtime Community Partnership

On June 4, I had the good fortune to participate in a joint celebration of the anniversaries of the East Oakland Youth Development Center, better known as EOYDC, and Clorox—Clorox just turned 100 and EOYDC, which Clorox helped found, turned 35—a longtime Oakland partnership.

What’s This Blog About?

Welcome to CR Matters, The Clorox Company's blog, where we'll talk about ... matters of corporate responsibility (CR). The Clorox Company has been around for awhile (99 years, 158 days and counting), but it's in recent years that we formalized our CR strategy. That's not to say corporate responsibility hasn't been a part of our business. Back in our founding year of 1913, the company sold Clorox® liquid bleach to  industrial customers in returnable, five-gallon crockery jugs.  (Our founders weren't ones for wasting resources.) And for the last 32 years, The Clorox Company Foundation has awarded more than $87 million in educational grants, scholarships and other donations.
