Our company, our employees around the world and the Kimberly-Clark Foundation contribute to worthy causes through financial support, product donations and volunteerism.
Our giving strategy
We're leveraging the power of our brands to build a better
future.
Each day, our brands touch 1.3 billion consumers. That global
reach gives us tremendous opportunity to improve lives and
communities. As part of Sustainability 2015, we will use the power
of our brands to support causes that consumers care about.
Need: Moms struggle to provide diapers for their babies.
