A Commitment Through Action
For Clorox, diversity is much more than just an initiative, a set of values or a mission statement. It is a true measure of our ability to grow our organization in an increasingly competitive marketplace. We believe the ideas and values that shape our employees are as important as what they do.
This recognition of the experiences and knowledge of our employees improves the diversity of our products and our market leadership. And just as their innovation is a bridge to our business goals, our employees are a bridge to our customers — for it is through their innovation that we see our success.
Our commitment is further extended to our suppliers, who reflect the increasingly diverse consumers of our products. Ensuring all suppliers have equal access is just as important as employee diversity and multicultural marketing. It enables us to gain a unique level of insight and perspective on what is important to consumers.
A Resource for Every Employee
Creating an inspired workforce that is rich in diversity is a key component of our People strategy. In support of this objective, Clorox has created five Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Open to all employees, each ERG ensures every employee has access to support, inspiration, and personal and professional development.
An important part of our diversity and inclusion strategy, ERGs not only help to build professional relationships, but also promote and retain exceptional employees, provide insights on multicultural marketing and supplier diversity initiatives, and support our community outreach programs.
Employees are welcome to join any of these ERGs:
- African American
- Asian
- Clorox Pride (GLBT)
- Latinos for Excellence, Advancement & Development (LEAD)
- Support, Heart & Opportunity for Women (SHOW)
A Partnership for Diversity
As a steward of diversity, The Clorox Company is proud to partner with and sponsor professional organizations to grow their influence and reach, as well as to give minority candidates a platform for empowerment and achievement.
Clorox is networking with companies that have headquarters or operations in the San Francisco Bay Area to form strategic alliances to increase the overall diversity talent pool. Through dialogue and a shared passion to identify top talent, we host a number of diversity summit events to connect companies with members of professional organizations.
Looking Forward to a Brighter Future
All of us at The Clorox Company continue to commit ourselves and our resources to ensuring our diversity initiatives positively affect our organization, our business and our communities. We are proud of the accomplishments and strides we have already made, and are looking forward to the even greater successes we can share together.
