OAKLAND, CA -- 11/03/09 -- The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today announced that it has joined the Business Coalition for Workplace Fairness, a group of leading U.S. employers seeking to address workplace fairness for gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender (GBLT) employees through a federal standard that treats all employees equally.

"The Clorox Company shares the Coalition's strong commitment to eradicating discrimination in the workplace," said Don Knauss, chairman and CEO, The Clorox Company. "Creating a culture of diversity and inclusion where everyone is treated with fairness, dignity and respect represents not only one of our key social responsibility principles, but it is also a business imperative that is vital to the success of our company."

The coalition supports the Employment Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is a federal bill that would provide the same basic employment discrimination protections to GBLT employees that are already afforded to workers across the country. ENDA will help ensure all Americans have basic employment protection from discrimination based on irrational prejudice. The bill is closely modeled on existing civil rights laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
