Sustainability

Kimberly-Clark has a strong history of sustainable practices. We have a proven company-wide commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility including care for the environment, the community and our people.

Our Sustainability policy [PDF, 95 kB] defines our approach:

Kimberly-Clark Australia commits to the ongoing, continued improvement of business policies, practices and strategies that impact and/or result in productive and positive outcomes in each of the following key areas:

  • the consumers of our products
  • our customers
  • our suppliers
  • our people
  • our community
  • our environment and
  • our business operations.

At Kimberly-Clark, the concept of care is deeply embedded in our culture. Our products and brands themselves help people care – for their own health and hygiene, or that of their family, their medical patients or their customers.

This carries across to the way we do business. Across all sites and business units, our aim is to keep our people and our environment safe. This aim is backed up by our global Environment Health and Safety management system which ensures adherence to stringent policies and procedures.

Sustainability and caring are also intrinsic to our corporate values. Values of caring for others, citizenship, teamwork, diversity, exceeding expectation and superior performance.
