Industry collaboration

AIM-Progress 

We participate in AIM-Progress, a forum for leading consumer goods manufacturers and suppliers that drives collaboration to positively impact people’s lives and ensure respect for human rights by improving responsible sourcing practices, building supply chain capabilities, sharing ethical sourcing audits and promoting respect for human rights. 

ASTM International 

We’ve been active participants in efforts led by ASTM International, formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials, to develop and test biodegradable plastics. 

Earthworm Foundation 

We work closely with the Earthworm Foundation, or EF, a nonprofit organization focused on improving the relationship between people and nature. Our work primarily supports traceability, supplier commitments and on-the-ground transformation in palm oil value chains. 

Global Shea Alliance 

We are a founding member of the Global Shea Alliance and partner with the organization to design, develop and deliver strategies that support a competitive, sustainable global shea industry and improve the livelihoods of rural African women and their communities.  

Leaping Bunny 

The Burt’s Bees brand has been Leaping Bunny certified since 2008, reflecting our commitment to the Leaping Bunny standard for non-animal tested cosmetic products and ingredient supply chains. 

Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil 

As a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil we support the principles and criteria designed to reduce the negative environmental and community impacts of palm oil cultivation in palm oil-producing regions. 

Sedex 

As a member of Sedex, we use Sedex Member Ethical Trade, or SMETA, audits and self-assessment questionnaires for collecting and analyzing information on ethical and responsible business practices in the supply chain. Through the mutual recognition approach, our selected business partners can complete one self-assessment and/or audit that may be shared with multiple customers. By doing this, manufacturers and suppliers can focus their efforts on improving responsible sourcing practices rather than preparing for duplicative audits. 

SmartLabel 

We helped to develop an industry-wide labeling tool, giving consumers easily accessible, detailed information on a wide range of food, beverage, supplement, household, pet care, personal care and over-the-counter U.S. retail products in a single place, using a consistent digital format. SmartLabel launched in 2015, and today it houses ingredient information for nearly 90,000 products, including over 1,000 brands from nearly 80 different companies as of September 2026. 

Sustainable Packaging Coalition 

As a member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, we helped bring standardized recycling labeling instructions to packaging. 

United Nations Global Compact 

In 2015, Clorox became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, which brings companies, NGOs, governments and other stakeholders together to advance the most important sustainability issues in the world as reflected in the organization’s Ten Principles. 

United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 

Clorox has collaborated with the U.S. EPA for many years to advocate and support its programs including Safer Choice, a voluntary program that brings together stakeholders to advance the use of safer chemicals and promote sustainability in products. Since 2016, Clorox has been named a Safer Choice Partner of the Year seven times for outstanding achievement in the manufacturing of products that are safer for families, pets, workplaces, communities, and the environment. We also incorporate the U.S. EPA’s SmartWay® certification and ranking into the carrier evaluation process to improve emissions performance and transparency for inbound and outbound logistics.
