Clorox made substantive modifications to 15 existing risk disclosures while adding three new risks focused on third-party service provider reliance, risk management strategy, and board governance. The company removed one risk related to strategic alliances and business relationships, narrowing its scope of partnership-related disclosures. The most heavily revised risks centered on cost volatility for raw materials, energy, and labor, alongside challenges in achieving sales growth objectives amid category declines and product mix changes.
