Consistently winning recognitions like this is only possible when many thousands of K-C employees worldwide do their work while maintaining an underlying focus on sustainability and citizenship."
With this designation Kimberly-Clark continues a well-established track record as a responsible corporate citizen. K-C recently repeated its designation by Ethisphere Institute as one of the "World's Most Ethical Companies," among multiple other global distinctions received in the past year.
