The Clorox Company, often known as simply Clorox, is an American multinational manufacturer and marketer that specializes in consumer and professional products alike. Founded by Archibald Taft, Edward Hughes, Charles Husband, Rufus Myers, and William Hussey in 1913, it has its headquarters based in Oakland, California. Despite being incorporated in Delaware, hence the '/DE/' in its legal name, its roots run deep in the American soil.
With its public trading under the ticker symbol 'CLX' on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Clorox continues to exhibit significant growth and sustainability. As of its current operations, the company has approximately 8,800 employees worldwide, caring for their families and communities.
Clorox owes much of its success to its wide portfolio of recognized brands that consumers trust and love. Some of its most recognizable names internationally include Clorox (cleaning and bleach), Burt's Bees (natural personal care), Glad (trash bags and food storage), Hidden Valley and KC Masterpiece (dressings and sauces), Brita (water filtration), and many more. It operates through four segments: Cleaning, Household, Lifestyle, and International.
Despite being over a century old, Clorox has managed to stay relevant in various markets around the world and within many demographics. The company continually seeks out ways to purposefully innovate, always staying faithful to its mission of making everyday life better, every day. 2021 proved to be a disruptive year for the firm due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, but Clorox’s robust product portfolio, inclusive of cleaning and sanitization goods, experienced an increased demand.
One of the core values of Clorox is its commitment to corporate responsibility. The company has set ambitious environment, social, and governance (ESG) goals, which include reductions in greenhouse gases, water usage, and waste to landfill while advancing equality and justice in the course of everyday business. For instance, the company has publicly committed to operating 100% on renewable electricity by 2025.
Moreover, Clorox's efforts in diversity and inclusion, product sustainability, and community have earned the company recognition in several third-party rankings, including being named to Fortune's list of the World's Most Admired Companies. This ultimately reflects the company's devoted focus on making a positive and enduring impact that does right by its customers, shareholders, and society alike, thus projecting CLX as a business leader in all aspects.
