Our aim is to ensure our products also provide sustainability benefits, allowing us to grow responsibly in a world of finite resources. We have identified three main ways of doing this:

• Incorporating insights from customers and consumers on how we can make our products more sustainable into product development.
• Systematically applying Design for Environment principles when developing new products. We consider the whole product life-cycle during product design.
• Using wood fiber responsibly, by purchasing from certified suppliers, using recycled fiber where it is consistent with product performance, and by reducing the amount of fiber we use in our products and the amount of product our customers need to use.

We also put significant effort into using synthetic fibers efficiently and reducing or eliminating unnecessary product packaging. K-C Professional develops new ways to help users of its products protect themselves from workplace hazards, and Kimberly-Clark Health Care develops innovative products for preventing infection.
