Clorox Partners with Manufacture 2030 To Advance Supply Chain Climate Action

The Clorox Company has forged a strategic partnership with Manufacture 2030, or M2030, to help Clorox’s suppliers meet their carbon reduction targets and advance the company’s long-term goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

M2030 is designed to help suppliers measure, manage and reduce carbon emissions. The new partnership aims to advance decarbonization throughout Clorox’s value chain through the collection of emissions data, jointly identified and defined actions for reduction and continuous upskilling.

“As part of Clorox’s efforts to foster a cleaner world, we have a responsibility to ensure our suppliers are equipped with the capabilities necessary for forging their own sustainability journeys,” said Niki King, chief sustainability officer at The Clorox Company. “Climate action is a complex endeavor that requires companies to engage all parts of their supply chain in order to meaningfully reduce their environmental impact.”

Business Partner Code of Conduct

The program, which will record key figures on energy, will be gradually rolled out to several suppliers of the company’s strategic raw materials and packaging, which collectively represents more than half of Clorox’s scope 3 emissions.

“Our value chain is comprised of organizations that share Clorox’s commitment to doing the right thing, which is why for the last 15 years, we’ve implemented a business partner code of conduct that emphasizes sustainable business practices,” said Eva Choe, chief procurement officer at The Clorox Company. “We believe M2030’s platform will help our suppliers establish practical action plans and deliver significant carbon reductions while garnering critical industry collaboration.”

M2030 enables suppliers to regularly track and share their progress with other customers using the M2030 platform. Suppliers will also be able to export relevant compatible data for submission to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a global disclosure system to manage environmental data.

Climate action is a critical element of Clorox’s environmental, social and governance goals embedded in the company’s corporate IGNITE strategy. This partnership represents an important step forward in Clorox’s longstanding commitment to measuring, transparently reporting and reducing its carbon footprint, including 2030 science-based targets and the long-term goal of achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
