Does Clorox support Israel?
The Clorox Company
We have not yet found publicly recorded donations from Clorox. Absence of records does not confirm absence of support.
Filed under: Household & consumer goods brands · Companies that support Israel
Background
Clorox has no recorded donations, operations, or support tied to Israel. Social-media posts urging a Clorox boycott generally rest on the mistaken claim that Clorox is a Procter & Gamble brand — The Clorox Company has been an independent, publicly traded company (NYSE: CLX) since P&G was ordered to divest it in 1969. Clorox does not appear on BDS movement target lists, its SEC filings contain no Israel references, its corporate foundation's giving centers on Oakland and U.S. community programs, and its employee PAC's disbursements include no pro-Israel committees.
