Clorox’s sustainability governance starts at the top, with oversight <\/span><\/span>from our board and senior management team, and extends down to the grass-roots level, where sustainability is embedded into our operations and employees’ day-to-day activities.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Sustainability progress is overseen by the Sustainability Executive Committee<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>which is <\/span><\/span><\/span>led <\/span><\/span>by our <\/span><\/span><\/span>chief <\/span><\/span><\/span>legal officer. The Committee includes our two group presidents <\/span><\/span><\/span>and is managed by a cross-functional Sustainability <\/span><\/span>Steering <\/span><\/span><\/span>Team<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>which is <\/span><\/span><\/span>led by our <\/span><\/span><\/span>vice president – chief sustainability officer<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Execution is <\/span><\/span>shared with <\/span><\/span><\/span>our <\/span><\/span>business units<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> which <\/span><\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span><\/span>share<\/span><\/span><\/span> responsibility for <\/span>our<\/span> <\/span>IGNITE <\/span><\/span>sustainability goals<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This <\/span><\/span><\/span>sustainability governance structure <\/span><\/span><\/span>is designed to <\/span><\/span><\/span>further integrate our IGNITE sustainability goals into business units<\/span><\/span><\/span> and e<\/span><\/span><\/span>n<\/span><\/span><\/span>hance how the company <\/span><\/span><\/span>allocate<\/span><\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span><\/span> resources<\/span><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>assign<\/span><\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span><\/span> decision-making authority and accountability<\/span><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>set<\/span><\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span><\/span> sustainability targets and measure<\/span><\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span><\/span> performance. The structure also helps <\/span>identify<\/span> and mitigate risks associated with sustainability issues<\/span><\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> such as resource dependency, resource scarcity<\/span><\/span><\/span> and physical business disruption. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
As part of our sustainability governance approach, we have in place<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Codes of Conduct<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> for teammates and <\/span><\/span><\/span>all those who do business with us<\/span><\/span><\/span>, outlining our expectations in the areas of human rights and labor, health and safety, the environment and business conduct and ethics<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In addition to the sustainability governance structure outlined <\/span><\/span><\/span>on this page<\/span><\/span><\/span>, we also have <\/span><\/span><\/span>issue<\/span><\/span><\/span>-specific gover<\/span><\/span><\/span>nance and processes <\/span><\/span><\/span>customized to the specific needs of each area<\/span><\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> including:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
