Our CEO, Linda Rendle, recently visited our Durham, North Carolina, hub. During her stay, she hosted a Global Town Hall; toured our Burt’s Bees plant in Morrisville; volunteered along with 50 fellow teammates to assemble 300 donation kits benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities, Duke Cancer Institute and Durham Rescue Mission; shared her insights with students at Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business; and more. She closed out the trip with a team barbecue — Kingsford fired, of course! #SharetheLoveWithBurts #LivetheGreaterGood #CloroxGives

Get to know Jon Pasco — he’s part of our Enterprise Data and Technology function (formerly IT). “Every day, I feel like we’re given an opportunity to improve something — whether it’s streamlining our processes to be able to deliver a project sooner, or faster or in a more efficient way, or guiding our organization toward the right investments,” says Jon. “There’s that opportunity for us to make an impact.” Jon and his husband, Donn, came to work for Clorox from the Philippines, so their introduction to the company and the country happened simultaneously. “It was my first time being in the U.S., my first time working in an office here,” he says. “Everyone was so welcoming and supportive, especially knowing that we came from another country.” As a dad of twin toddlers, his focus is on their well-being. “I’m so happy knowing that there’s a company that is championing people to be well and thrive, and making products that will ultimately make our homes cleaner, safer and healthier.” From an employee perspective, he’s also proud to work for a company that champions diversity and inclusion. “Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community and an Asian immigrant, it’s important for me to have a company that actually encourages me to be my authentic self, and to bring my whole self to work,” says Jon. “Here, I can be a dad, but at the same time I can be successful at work. I don’t feel like I need to sacrifice either.”

Our Alpharetta, Georgia; Durham, North Carolina; and Pleasanton, California, offices truly embraced the spirit of Mardi Gras as part of our #BlackHistoryMonth celebrations.

In a relatively nondescript building 30 miles from Oakland, California, a concept was coming together that was two years in the making. Our new Burt's Bees-Hidden Valley Ranch Dippers — a basket of wings in balm form — were getting ready for their own Big Game: launch day. Inspired by an April Fools’ Day social media post, the collaboration had fan support but still required proof of concept — and a cost-effective way to get that. Our manufacturing facility in North Carolina could not produce efficiently at such a small scale, so a different approach was required. The solution? A pilot plant at our R&D facility, where we conduct tests that inform the development and commercialization of products. While we already had pilot plants for other brands in our portfolio, including Hidden Valley Ranch and Kingsford, we didn’t yet have one dedicated to the unique manufacturing needs of cosmetics. So we decided to build one. Enter Christine Krehely, Mario Garcia and Toni Lynch, three of the key players on the Technical Services team that was tasked with this project. Their team acquired equipment, including robotics. They completed necessary paperwork. They conducted training. And they produced and packed thousands of tubes of lip balm. Selling out the same day it launched in January, this innovation was the business equivalent of a touchdown. “There was so much demand we couldn’t make it in-house anymore,” says Christine. Often playing a behind-the-scenes role, Technical Services was thrilled to play a big part in such a high-visibility project. “The team was super proud,” says Toni. “Some of the TikTok and influencers’ responses were hilarious. But we expected that.” And what’s next for our winning team? “It’s really up to the imagination of what people want,” says Mario. “We have the capability now, and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.” #NationalInnovationDay
