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.
Organization
We attempt to engage every part of Clorox’s organization in advancing Clorox’s sustainability initiatives. This includes the Company’s Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Corporate Eco Office, Business Units that are given eco commitments, Product Supply Organization that leads footprint reduction efforts, R&D organization that leads product and package sustainability efforts, and employee volunteer Eco Network organization that leads grass roots eco workplace initiatives. And we seek to educate all 8,300 of our employees about the importance of doing their work in a more sustainable way.
