Kimberly-Clark received the excellence in greenhouse gas management “Goal Achievement Award” for reporting and verifying organisation-wide greenhouse gas inventories and achieving publicly-set aggressive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals, according to a press release.
One of Kimberly-Clark's long-term sustainability goals is to reduce total GHG emissions from operations while delivering direct savings or cost avoidance. Successful execution of its global GHG reduction strategy enabled the company to exceed its five per cent reduction in total GHG emissions in four years and reduce more than 10 per cent over the last 10 years.
Kimberly-Clark has achieved results by expanding programs that rely on energy conservation and the deployment of alternate energy such as biomass, renewable, and cogeneration at several US and global facilities.
Sandra MacQuillan, senior vice president and chief supply chain officer for Kimberly-Clark said, “We're proud of the progress we've made in finding ways to grow sustainably. We are increasing efforts to educate, excite, and engage employees around sustainability by demonstrating how it connects with our vision and values as a company.”
Lisa Morden, senior director of global sustainability, K-C said, “It's an honour to be recognised as a leader in reducing climate impact. We are very proud to have achieved a 6.9 percent reduction in our absolute greenhouse gas emissions over four years. This award reaffirms the measurable impact of our sustainability program and recognises our actions to continue improving energy efficiency across our global operations.” (GK)
Two non-governmental organisations, the Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and The Climate Registry (TCR), are co-sponsors of the award with the EPA.
