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.

Kimberly-Clark solution: 20 million Huggies diapers for diaper banks. Through its Every Little Bottom initiative, the Huggies brand donated 22.5 million diapers distributed through 10 local diaper banks to needy families in the U.S. and Canada.

In 2011, Kimberly-Clark and our employees contributed $32.1 million in cash and product donations for charitable causes worldwide. As part of that amount, the Kimberly-Clark Foundation matched $1.25 million in employee giving, and awarded more than $850,000 in grants to charities where our employees or their spouses volunteered more than 84,000 hours of their time.

Choosing to be a responsible corporate citizen is always the right choice. Whether providing educational opportunities to our world's brightest youth or helping families around the globe, Kimberly-Clark is dedicated to a better life for everyone.
