Sustainable forest management
Over 90% of the fibre used in our Australian made products is certified with a recognised internation foresty standard.
FSC certification
Kimberly-Clark Australia has achieved Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification, the most widely recognised and respected global certification for our locally made Kleenex® range, including Kleenex® Facial Tissues, Kleenex® Cottonelle® Bath Tissue, Viva® Paper Towel and our Wondersoft® and Thick & Thirsty® ranges. We’ve been awarded ‘Chain of Custody’ certification ‘Mixed Sources’ meaning not only do we source fibre from ethical sources, we know exactly how our fibre is being handled at all points of contact and exactly where it’s coming from.
Globally, FSC is the most recognised certification, and ensures that forests meet a set of global standards for ecologically, socially, and economically responsible forestry. The FSC certification is supported by key environmental NGOs such as Greenpeace, The Rainforest Alliance and WWF.
