Clorox Partners with Manufacture 2030 to Achieve Net-Zero Emissions by 2050


11/08/2024


The Clorox Company has announced a strategic alliance with Manufacture 2030 to support its suppliers in meeting carbon reduction objectives and advance Clorox’s overarching goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. M2030 offers resources to assist suppliers in measuring, managing, and cutting down their carbon emissions. Through this collaboration, Clorox aims to further decarbonize its value chain by gathering emissions data, defining actionable reduction strategies, and providing continuous skill development for suppliers.
 
"As part of our commitment to a cleaner world, Clorox is responsible for equipping suppliers with the skills necessary for their sustainability efforts," stated Niki King, Clorox’s Chief Sustainability Officer. "Meaningful climate action demands that companies engage with every part of their supply chain to reduce their environmental impact."
 
This initiative will be gradually introduced to suppliers of key raw materials and packaging—areas accounting for over half of Clorox’s scope 3 emissions. Eva Choe, Chief Procurement Officer, highlighted the company's dedication to sustainability, noting, "Our suppliers share our commitment to responsible practices, supported by our 15-year business partner code of conduct. We believe M2030’s platform will enable our suppliers to create actionable plans and achieve significant carbon reductions through critical industry collaboration."
 
M2030 allows suppliers to track and share progress on the M2030 platform and export data for reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Martin Chilcott, CEO of Manufacture 2030, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: "We are excited to work with Clorox in helping their suppliers measure emissions, manage reductions, and share achievements with customers. Together, we aim to reach significant carbon reduction targets across the consumer goods industry."
 
This partnership is a key component of Clorox’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals within its IGNITE corporate strategy, marking a significant step in its commitment to transparency and achieving science-based targets for 2030 and a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050.
