Clorox Signs on to ‘America Is All In’

The Clorox Company has signed America Is All In – a statement supported by more than 1,000 businesses, government entities, universities and other institutions to express support for ambitious commitments to tackle the climate crisis. 

The America Is All In statement was co-produced by the many organizations and networks that support the management of We Are Still In – a joint declaration of support for climate action signed by more than 3,900 CEOs, mayors, governors, tribal leaders, college presidents, faith leaders, health care executives, and others in 2017. America Is All In was organized by The American Sustainable Business Council, B Team, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Center for American Progress, Ceres, CDP, Climate Mayors, Climate Nexus, C40, C2ES, Environmental Defense Fund, Environmental Entrepreneurs, Georgetown Climate Center, Health Care Without Harm, ICLEI, National League of Cities, Rocky Mountain Institute, Second Nature, Sierra Club, Sustainable Museums, The Climate Group, We Mean Business, World Resources Institute (WRI), and World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Signatories to America Is All In support driving economic growth through job-creating sustainable investments. A key principle of the collaborative statement is approaching climate and economic recovery in a manner that addresses systemic inequalities and ensures everyone benefits from a transition to climate resiliency. 

“Clorox's corporate purpose is to champion people to be well and thrive, every single day. And this includes contributing to a healthy planet,” said Clorox CEO Linda Rendle. “Consistent with our commitment to science-based climate action, we're lending our voice to call for a coordinated, national response to climate change and recognize that all sectors must act together to help our planet thrive now and in the future.”

Clorox has made addressing climate change a key priority in its so-called “Ignite” Strategy. The company has committed to 100% renewable electricity in the U.S. and Canada by next year and to setting science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and across its value chain.  These commitments build upon a long-standing focus on climate stewardship that resulted in cumulatively reducing emissions by 56% per case of product sold and by 46% on an absolute basis between 2008 and 2019.
