CEO, CLX Stock, Linda Rendle commented,
Clorox had an exceptional fiscal year in 2021, with the pandemic putting them to the challenge, including fast shifts in consumer need and price inflation, as seen by their fourth-quarter results. It bolstered their worldwide offering, which has never been more attractive to customers. It also revealed a potential to advance their IGNITE approach in order to take advantage of shifting consumer trends, distinguish Clorox, and win in their categories.
CLX has continued to progress their IGNITE strategy and major goals in the wake of a tough climate, including tripling their innovation investment and generating over $120 million in cost reductions in the fiscal year. They made headway in growing manufacturing capacity, attaining their best case fill rate since the beginning of the epidemic, which helped them take market share across the board. Their e-commerce, data-driven customization, and innovation efforts are all paying off. In the last two years, they have virtually quadrupled our e-commerce business and seen increased levels of consumer interaction.
