OAKLAND,
Calif., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Clorox
Company (NYSE: CLX) announced today 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.
The Clorox Company announced a strategic
partnership with M2030 to help advance its long-term climate
goals.
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."
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.
"We're delighted to partner with The Clorox Company and enable
their suppliers to reduce their environmental impact," said
Martin Chilcott, Manufacture 2030
Chief Executive Officer. "Through the M2030 platform, Clorox
suppliers can measure their emissions, manage their reduction
efforts, and share progress with their customers. We look forward
to collaborating with Clorox and the wider consumer goods industry
to reach supply chain carbon reduction targets."
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.
