As countries continue to adapt to a post-Covid world and children start returning to the classroom, our teams have been working hard to provide a range of exciting and creative solutions to help keep our children, teachers, and families safe.
Read on to find out just some of the incredible work our teams are doing this back-to-school season.
In the US
As part of its ‘Here for Healthy Schools’ campaign, Lysol has partnered with actor, author and entrepreneur Sarah Michelle Gellar, donating over 16 million disinfecting wipes to help keep germs at bay on the return to school. As part of its ‘Buy One, Donate One’ programme, for every pack of Lysol disinfecting wipes bought another is being donated, working with the Kids in Need Foundation in a bid to help curb the spread of infections in schools.

"The Return to school kits have made a real difference in building the confidence of parents and teachers alike – the technical guidelines imprinted on decals are easy to place, and the checklist provided to schools along with the products in the kit have given schools clarity on what they need to ensure that teachers and children remain safe."
