Our Environmental Commitments

Biodiversity and Habitat Conservation

The Clorox Company believes that the preservation and protection of biodiversity and the natural ecosystem is an essential aspect of our commitment to environmental sustainability. We believe that it is imperative to protect forest lands, wetlands, water bodies and fish populations, as well as local plant and animal species and the habitats that support them both where we operate and beyond. Clorox’s overall impact on biodiversity is insignificant given the nature of our operations and the type of products we manufacture. Also, most of our operations are not located on or near wetlands. One exception is Clorox’s Aberdeen, Maryland plant. This facility is surrounded by a significant acreage of natural wetlands which Clorox is committed to protecting. We are also committed to:

• Complying with global, federal, state and local biodiversity legislation and regulations.
• Going beyond legal and regulatory requirements whenever possible to ensure that our manufacturing operations do not negatively impact biodiversity, natural habitats, wetlands, forest lands, fisheries or local plant and animal species.
• Increasing employee awareness on the issue of biodiversity through volunteerism opportunities and ongoing education
• Supporting biodiversity efforts beyond where we operate when we think that we can make a meaningful contribution. As an example of this commitment, The Clorox Company donates Clorox® Regular Bleach to protect amphibians, which are in danger of becoming extinct from the deadly chytrid fungus.

Fighting the deadly “Frog Fungus”

Frogs around the world are disappearing at an alarming rate.

One of the culprits detrimental to frogs is a chytrid (KIT-rid) fungus. To combat it, zoos and aquariums around the world are taking the most threatened species into "protective custody" in bio-secure environments. The frogs are treated with an anti-fungal medicine. Everything else is treated with a bleach solution to prevent the spread of the fungus: boots, clothing, instruments, and even the frogs' new environments.

The Clorox Company is proud to be the first official corporate sponsor of the Year of the Frog program. Clorox is donating funds and bleach to support the work of protecting the planet's amphibians. Clorox® Regular-Bleach is one of the most important tools in Amphibian Ark's fight to dave the frogs.
