Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“Nina montee karp, director, is the spouse of dr. Harvey karp, director.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The vp finance and chief operating officer of ewg reviews the federal form 990 with the president of ewg in its draft form and any required revisions are submitted to the external tax team. The final draft federal form 990 is distributed to the board of directors before filing with the internal revenue service.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The board of directors of ewg annually reviews the conflict of interest policy (coi) and discloses any potential conflict of interest. All ewg staff and board of directors sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The signed documents are reviewed by the president and general counsel of ewg and are kept by the vp finance and chief operating officer of ewg. The coi policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. Any possible appearance of conflict of interest that arises in the course of business is researched to determine the existence of a conflict. If a contract is to be made with a related party, it is disclosed to the board of directors and a vote is taken prior to entering into the contract. If ewg staff members identify a conflict of interest, the general counsel or vp finance and chief operating officer of ewg share this information with the executive committee of the board of directors for its action. Board members are precluded from voting on matters for which a conflict exists.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Ewg's officers' compensations were determined using a review and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision. The board of directors of ewg designates a compensation committee of board members to review the president's and the vp finance & coo's compensation. Compensation comparison data is used to determine appropriate compensation levels. External salary surveys are purchased every year to compare like organizations by area of focus, geographic area, and function. Comparable environmental non-profits' federal form 990 are also reviewed for salary information.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are not available to the public. Annual internal revenue service federal form 990 and the form 1023 are provided upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0TOXICS AND HUMAN HEALTH - EWG BELIEVES PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRUST THAT THE PRODUCTS THEY ARE BUYING ARE SAFE AND WON'T CAUSE HARM TO THEIR HEALTH OR THEIR FAMILIES. OUR SIMPLE THEORY IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT THE REALITY IN TODAY'S CHEMICAL SAFETY REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. OUR SCIENCE PROGRAM HAS TWO PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: FIRST, TO INFLUENCE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR BY DIRECTLY INFORMING AND MOTIVATING A LARGE AUDIENCE TO ADOPT HABITS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, USING ORIGINAL RESEARCH ABOUT CHEMICALS OF CONCERN FOUND IN EVERYDAY ENVIRONMENTS. SECOND, TO INFLUENCE MASS MARKET CHANGE BY DISRUPTING THE FOOD, HOUSEHOLD CLEANER, AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT MARKETS THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH ON TOXIC INGREDIENTS AND CONSUMER PRESSURE FOR SAFER ALTERNATIVES.OUR SCIENCE PROGRAM IS WORKING TO PRODUCE CUTTING-EDGE, NEWSWORTHY RESEARCH AND CONSUMER EDUCATION PROJECTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TO EDUCATE CITIZEN ACTIVISTS, MOVE MARKETS AND GENERATE DEBATE ON CHEMICAL POLICY REFORM. EWG HAS A DEDICATED TEAM OF SCIENTISTS WITH EXPERTISE IN TOXICOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND NUTRITION. OUR TEAM OF A DOZEN EXPERTS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST RECOGNIZED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD.FROM THE TOP RESEARCHERS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, TO AN AWARD WINNING GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS SHOP, TO COPYWRITERS TO HELP US TELL OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH STORIES TO A ROBUST ONLINE COMMUNITY OF MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS - EWG IS INSPIRING CHANGE, BOTH BIG AND SMALL. THROUGH OUR HABIT CHANGING GUIDANCE, TO OUR MARKET AND POLICY MOVING SCIENCE WE ARE TRANSFORMING THE PERCEPTION THAT HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS A LUXURY AND REDEFINING IT AS A NECESSITY.BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE IN AN "ENVIRONMENT" WE CAN TRUST.
