25 March 201525 March 2015
3
 The discussion about sustainability is
often confusing
 It is often opinion led, based on
people’s personal experience and
drivers
 A serious approach on sustainability
needs to reflect the complexity of
interdependences of environmental,
social and economic factors

4. KIMBERLY-CLARK – Leading in Sustainability
“We recognize that only companies that
build sustainability into the way they do
business will have enduring success.
Our business relies on natural resources
such as wood fibre, energy and water. It
is clearly in our best interest to design
products and manufacturing processes
that conserve these resources and
secure their availability for the future.”
Tom Falk, CEO Kimberly-Clark
25 March 2015

 Reduce Today, Respect Tomorrow is the
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*
approach to sustainability
 It begins with the understanding that the
way we use resources today shapes the
world of tomorrow
 It has led us to focus on reducing
consumption at every stage of the product
life cycle from design to disposal
 Reduction is the key to lowering the
environmental impact of our activities as
well as those of our customers
