K-C has earned impressive accolades from some of the country's most respected authorities on corporate citizenship and community leadership including:

The United Way of America recognized K-C's commitment to improving lives in local communities nationwide in 2005 and 2007 with its highest tribute for corporate community involvement – the Spirit of America Summit Award.

In addition to Kimberly-Clark's corporate commitment to the United Way, K-C employees host local campaigns that are truly grassroots in nature. These campaigns are designed and executed by enthusiastic employees who know what outreach effort will work best in their environments and who are aware of local community needs.

Kimberly-Clark employees take their commitment to United Way seriously and are heavily involved in their campaigns by employing creative fundraising events like bake sales, teddy bear drives, pumpkin-decorating contest and volunteer days to engage employees year-round. The company matches employee pledges to the United Way dollar-for-dollar.

In the U.S. communities where Kimberly-Clark operates, the company's United Way support is critical, as it is often the largest local contributor. For example, in Jenks, OK, Kimberly-Clark represents 75 percent of the overall community's campaign goal.
