Sustainability Advisory Board
The SAB met twice in 2008. Members discussed several important sustainability topics
for K-C, gave feedback on our 2007 sustainability report and commented on our approach
for this report. They also considered the types and levels of third-party assessment
available for sustainability reporting, other than the
review the SAB itself provides. After considering the alternatives, the
SAB agreed to proceed with its own review and statement this year
Our approach to evaluating K-C’s and our suppliers’ labor practices was among the
key topics discussed. We presented our new
contract manufacturer evaluation procedure to the SAB and modified our Human Rights in Employment
Policy to incorporate some of their comments.
The SAB also provided input for our draft climate change strategy, and encouraged
us to set a realistic yet aggressive carbon reduction target. They also encouraged
us to share the process we used to arrive at our proposed strategy externally. Read
