The Importance of Environmental Responsibility

At KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*, we understand that

the way we use resources today will shape the world of

tomorrow. That’s why we’re building sustainability into the

very fabric of our business, focusing not only on products,

but also on our operations, communities and employees.

We examine our products’ whole lifecycle, from sourcing

through disposal, to create products that reduce our overall

environmental impact by reducing the use of resources at

every stage.

Reducing Throughout the Product Lifecycle

Our Lifecycle Approach to Sustainability

Product DesignWe strive to design products that reduce consumption across the whole lifecycle.

Raw MaterialsWe are committed to responsible sourcing of raw materials and ensuring the sustainability of the fiber we use.

ManufacturingWe invest in new technology and process improvements to reduce the use of natural resources and waste from manufacturing.

Final DisposalInnovative products combined with reliable dispensing mean you can reduce how much gets used, wasted and thrown away.

UseOur high performance products and systems aim to help customers reduce their usage.

TransportWe continue to develop more efficient ways of packing, handling and transporting our products to reduce the impact of their distribution.

We strive to use less of the world’s resources so there’s more left for the future. We recognize that continually working to understand the environmental impacts of our business, help us to prioritize and minimize those impacts. Our solutions require us to consider more than just what the product is made with, we look at how they are manufactured, packaged, used, and disposed of.

We recommend products designed to:

8 Reduce how much you use8 Reduce how much you waste8 Reduce how much goes to landfill8 Reduce how much it all costs
