Workforce

As of June 30, 2025, the Company employed about 7,600 people worldwide, with 73% in the United States and 27% working outside the United States. Clorox's U.S. workforce includes 47% nonproduction employees and 53% production employees, while the workforce outside the United States includes 59% nonproduction employees and 41% production employees. The number of employees during fiscal year 2025 was primarily impacted by the divestiture of the Company’s Better Health VMS business.
