Our Hidden Valley brand is always looking for new ways for its fans to enjoy their favorite condiment.

Our people rolled up their sleeves and got their hands a little dirty this past month to give back to their communities. They helped clean up a park in Pleasanton, California, that's part of East Bay Regional Park District and a neglected garden at the North Carolina Museum of Art, enhancing their appearance and restoring biodiversity. A Homies Empowerment community garden also was restored, providing a positive alternative to gang involvement for local youth. Thank you to our Corporate Accounting and Legal and Government Affairs teams for your dedication and (literal) grit! This volunteer work is not only important to them, but it's also core to who we are.

ICYMI: Last week we hosted more than 25 in-person and virtual events around the world as part of our second annual IDEAcon! Check out this LinkedIn article from our chief diversity and social impact officer highlighting the event's conversations on activating allyship, embedding IDEA into our culture and building purpose-driven brands.

Meet Dilpreet Kaur, a senior scientist here at Clorox. When Dilpreet first entered the field, her workplace expectations weren’t exactly met — yet. “As a scientist, I always thought I wanted to do research, and I tried the academia route, but it seemed a little slow-paced for me,” she says. With our launch timelines anywhere from three months to 24 months, Dilpreet believed consumer goods might be a better fit. “My friends use our products, my family uses our products, the doctors I go to use our products,” she says. “So, when I think about the work I do to change Clorox wipes for the better, I think about how many people are benefiting from that. Whether it's spending less time cleaning and more time hanging out with their kids, or they're making sure their patients are safe in that hospital room ... yeah, our work is important.” Her passion for science is evident both within her team and within her community. “I love that we can make science approachable,” she says. “I volunteer with Clorox and outside of Clorox on STEM initiatives, making sure people have access to science, technology, engineering and math. And I think we need to get out of the old routine of just having one picture of what engineers look like, 'cause engineers look like me, too.” 👉To make an impact like Dilpreet, check out our Careers page to learn about careers at Clorox: https://lnkd.in/eMUn2pC. #CloroxIsThePlace

Juneteenth, held every June 19, celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. Our BELIEVE ERG hosts lunch and learns and other activities every year to raise awareness about the holiday. Juneteenth has been designated as a paid company holiday for all U.S. production and nonproduction teammates since 2022 — one way we're delivering on our IGNITE strategy’s goal to put IDEA front and center, building an even better Clorox. “I love that each year we discover new ways to elevate our Juneteenth celebrations," says BELIEVE ERG co-lead Michelle Talford. "The educational aspect of the holiday remains critical since many people are still unfamiliar with its significance, and it has been an honor to continue raising awareness within our community. I’m proud to see how we are embracing more action-oriented celebrations, engaging with our communities to spread joy and contribute to meaningful change.”

Supporting our communities is a priority for us as a company and for our people. Our Social Impact team is making it easier than ever to give back through a special incentive program. For every volunteer hour served this month by our global teammates, our foundation will donate 100 meals to those in need. We're excited to see all the additional good they'll do in the places we call home!

That’s a wrap for our second annual IDEAcon! From Atlanta to Australia and Brampton to Buenos Aires, we hosted more than 25 in-person and virtual events. They featured candid discussions on how we can all activate allyship, embed #IDEA into our workplace culture, and continue building purpose-driven brands. Check out how our teammates around the globe engaged in this week’s programming. #CloroxIsThePlace

We aim to deliver high-quality products that help people be well and thrive while minimizing our impact on the environment. Our Brita brand's work in support of this goal includes a campaign targeting plastic waste reduction, with one of its innovative ideas coming to life in the form of a beach-cleaning, litter-removing robot. On #WorldOceanDay this past weekend, the Brita-branded BeBot launched into action to tackle cleanup efforts on Midwestern beaches. First unveiled on Earth Day in collaboration with City of Detroit and Council of the Great Lakes Region with funding from us and support from Meijer, it will be deployed across multiple states in the Great Lakes region of the U.S., starting with Belle Isle in the Detroit River for the 2024 season.
