English - The Clorox Company

Corporate Scorecard Includes Sustainability Goals
Our board of directors’ nominating and governance committee oversees environmental health and
safety compliance at our company. Specific sustainability priorities have been integrated into the
Clorox corporate strategy, and environmental goals are part of the Clorox corporate scorecard on
which annual executive evaluation and compensation is based.
PLANET
Clorox’s enterprise-wide environmental sustainability goals cascade down to our company operations
and strategic business units that have their own specific sustainability commitments. A clear chain of
ownership exists for each aspect of our environmental strategy, ensuring that Clorox will be able to
drive sustainability improvements and climate change action throughout the organization over time.
Environmental System Tracks Compliance
Managing environmental compliance and tracking environmental metrics data is a critical part of
implementing our environmental strategy. We use our own environmental management system (ETRACS)
to track, report and ensure environmental compliance across our facilities. The system also drives sitespecific
compliance activities and tracks the progress we’re making toward our sustainability goals.
Formal Assessment Gauges Environmental Impact
Clorox has developed a sustainability assessment process to better understand and manage the
environmental impact of all our business. The assessment process — a joint undertaking by business
unit managers and the Eco Office — examines the environmental impact at each stage of our products’
life cycles; identifies current and emerging stakeholder environmental concerns; and, through the lens
of environmental sustainability, assesses potential cost savings and business growth opportunities,
as well as business risk.
