Measuring, Managing and Minimizing Our Operational Footprint PLANET Over the years, Clorox has become a highly efficient manufacturer through a continual improvement approach to our business. Today, these improvement efforts are aimed at further reducing our environmental footprint, with a focus on reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water use and solid waste to landfill. Tracking to Meet or Exceed Our 2013 Goals -20% -7% -10% -10% -10% -8.5% -9% -4.5% GHG Energy Water Waste PERFORMANCE TO DATE (2007 baseline) 2013 GOAL (per case of product sold) The Clorox Company | 2010 CRR 43
PLANET Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use Down We are actively working to reduce our GHG footprint. We’ve made a pledge to reduce our GHG emissions by 10 percent per case of product sold from 2007 to 2013. We also joined the EPA’s Climate Leaders Program in 2008 and received EPA SmartWay Transport Partner certification this year as part of our commitment to reduce our GHG footprint. Our recent GHG and energy use reductions are Energy Consumption 1.87 due primarily to retrofitting 22 of our manufacturing plants, distribution facilities and major offices with energy efficient T5/T8 lighting and motion sensors. We’re also moving 30 percent of our product distribution from trucking to more efficient intermodal rail. 818 823 1.86 787 1.78 2007 2008 2009 ENERGY CONSUMPTION (’000 of MWh) RATIO (MWh of energy per 1,000 cases) In addition to these strategies, Clorox is exploring other innovative ways to reduce our GHG emissions. The Burt’s Bees ® business, for example, is purchasing renewable energy credits in the form of wind energy, while the Kingsford ® business is using renewable energy sources from its own manufacturing processes to reduce dependence on the electricity grid.

Scope 2 GHG emissions are indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat and steam. Scope 3 emissions are associated with the distribution (by all modes of transport) of finished products by nonaffiliated carriers to regional distribution centers and to retailers. 300 74 We believe that science supports rising GHG emissions have a significant impact on climate change and the environment. Clorox therefore supports congressional action on comprehensive national climate change legislation aimed at reducing aggregate emissions of greenhouse gasses over time without causing undue hardships for the U.S. economy. Clorox is also committed to doing its part to help address this issue. 44 The Clorox Company | 2010 CRR
