The Clorox Company received the Most Innovative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Disclosure Policy Award by Corporate Secretary magazine. The award recognized the company's 2011 annual report "Think Outside the Bottle," which was Clorox's first time to combine its financial, environmental, social and governance performance in one report.
"Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance is foundational to our financial success, and we believe our annual report should reflect this," said chairman and CEO Don Knauss. "This award is gratifying recognition for Clorox and for all companies that are using reporting to help investors understand the strategic link between financial and ESG performance."
This year's awards received more than 100 nominations from large and small market-cap companies. In the category of CSR Disclosure, judges evaluated entries based on the quality and robustness of their CSR reporting. This included exposure to environmental risk factors, employee health and safety, foreign corrupt practices, consumer safety, social responsibility and corporate sustainability.
