The Clorox Company was named a 2022 Safer Choice Partner of the Year award winner for outstanding achievement in the manufacturing of products with ingredients that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designates as safer for families, pets, workplaces, communities, and the environment. This is the company’s fifth time receiving this award in the formulation/product manufacturing award category.
Safer Choice is important to Clorox because it’s directly linked to our ESG goals that support healthy lives.
Clorox was also recognized with a second award for participating in an industry coalition that partnered with the EPA to revise and modernize the Design for the Environment (DfE) logo for antimicrobial products. This work aligns the DfE logo more closely with the Safer Choice logo so consumers can be confident in knowing that products containing either one of the two logos have met the rigorous human health and environmental standards that the program stands for.

Safer Choice and Design for the Environment labels help consumers and organizations find products that perform and are made with safer ingredients. To qualify for either label, a product must meet the EPA’s standards, which include stringent human and environmental health criteria. Currently, 11 Clorox products carry the Safer Choice label, and five of Clorox’s EPA-registrations carry the Design for the Environment logo. Certified products include Clorox® Multi-Surface Cleaner Free and Clear and the CloroxPro EcoClean product line (All Purpose Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, and Disinfectant).
“Clorox has played an active role in Safer Choice for 15 years to advocate and support this critical program, and we’re proud of our new collaboration with the agency and industry peers to advance the Design for the Environment logo to further help consumers,” said Lisa Pankiewicz, vice president of Global Stewardship for Clorox. “The Safer Choice Program is extraordinarily important to Clorox because it’s directly linked to our ESG product stewardship goals that support healthy lives.”
Product stewardship is one of the environmental, social, governance (ESG) goals embedded in Clorox’s corporate strategy, called IGNITE. Clorox’s ESG goals are focused on strategic pillars where the company can have the greatest impact
