Eco Governance
Clorox has a very robust eco governance structure that includes eco goals embedded into our corporate business strategy, having an explicit corporate-wide eco strategy in place, and activating that eco strategy with a fully dedicated Eco Office team.
Clorox’s eco governance structure starts with the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and includes Clorox’s Executive Committee, who is responsible for delivering the eco goals embedded in the Company’s Corporate Strategy; Clorox’s Eco Office, who is responsible for executing Clorox’s eco priorities; and an extended team of dedicated eco-passionate employees who volunteer their time and energy as part of the Company’s Eco Network help to advance our sustainability agenda.
Eco goals are also cascaded to the Company’s business units and relevant functions to fully leverage the resources of the entire corporation. This includes embedding eco commitments into Business Unit and relevant Functional leader’s incentive compensation plans.
Strategy
Environmental sustainability is core to the way Clorox operates its global businesses. In fact, sustainability has been identified as one of four significant consumer megatrends that influences the strategic direction of the company. And our eco footprint reduction goals are all embedded in our formal Corporate Business Strategy. Clorox also has an explicit environmental sustainability strategy that guides Eco efforts across the enterprise and that is executed by the Company’s Eco Office.

Incentive Compensation
Environmental sustainability is one measure that impacts Clorox's Executive Management compensation as the Clorox Executive Committee is charged with executing the Company’s overall business strategy which includes our eco goals. And these environmental sustainability goals are also part of the Corporate Scorecard that is regularly reviewed by our Board of Directors.
Additionally, sustainability goals are cascaded to relevant Business Unit and Functional Leader compensation plans, and a large portion of the Company’s Eco Office personnel’s annual variable compensation is contingent on making specific progress against Clorox’s eco strategy.
