As one of the largest producers of tissue products, sustainable
forestry management is an essential part of Kimberly-Clark's
business. Our locally made Family Care tissue products are
FSC certified, the highest global sustainable forestry
certification possible.
WWF's Global Forest and Trade Network
(GFTN)
Kimberly-Clark is a proud partner of the World Wildlife Fund's
(WWF) Global Forest and Trade
Network (GFTN). WWF-GFTN is a network of more than 300
companies, communities, non-governmental organisations, and
entrepreneurs in more than 30 countries around the world. The goal
of the GFTN network is to create a new market for products created
through sustainable forestry management.
The global network helps ensure that millions of acres of
forests across our planet are independently and credibly certified.
The FSC certification process is a guarantee that the forests are
well managed and that their products come from legal and
sustainable timber harvests.
FSC certification and Kimberly-Clark brands
Since mid-2011 our Kleenex Cottonelle toilet tissue and Kleenex
VIVA paper towel products have carried the FSC logo and famous
WWF panda on packaging. These logos tell consumers that they can
make a difference to long-term environmental sustainability by
choosing products from sustainable sources that use FSC forestry
logging practices.
Consumers can feel good about their choices
Kimberly-Clark helps consumers understand that they can feel
good about buying our premium tissue products because they are also
choosing a company that is committed to environmentally sustainable
forestry management.
