      "As part of a companywide effort to continue to drive greater sustainability and offset our environmental footprint, late last year, a group of 24 employees from Clorox Colombia visited the Predio Yanacona, a large forest protected by local environmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations, to plant 200 trees.Since then, Clorox has sponsored or participated in the planting of more than 2,700 trees that will, over a 20-year period, offset the equivalent of 767 tons of carbon dioxide, or the annual greenhouse gas emissions from our Bogota and Cali manufacturing sites. Clorox is also sponsoring an additional 1,000 trees to be planted by the end of 2015.In addition to offsetting our emissions, we’re aiming to help make a positive contribution towards solving a national deforestation problem, which is affecting as much as 80,000 hectares of wild forests per year. By restoring these forests, such programs also protect important water sources, reduce erosion risk and restore ecosystems by providing natural conditions that allow native animal species to return to their habitat."

          "Clorox has informed our domestic business suppliers of palm oil-derived ingredients of our Action Plan and Commitments for sourcing palm oil and requested their assistance and support to drive industry change. We also engaged our priority suppliers in deeper discussions to ensure their alignment with Clorox’s sourcing commitment and their full understanding of the broader risks related to palm ingredient production and sourcing. By gaining visibility to the context surrounding Clorox’s palm commitment, suppliers are better able to act as implementation partners as we execute our action plan"

Any critical incidents found will require no longer than a sevenday corrective action plan. • Our Clorox’s SMETA trained quality team may support verification of corrective actions on site...  We will endeavor to work with our suppliers to address issues and implement remediation solutions, but in case of prolonged or excessive non-compliance, Clorox reserves the right to review business with our supplier, up to and including termination of the business relationship and any related contracts."
