Green and Lean: Kimberly-Clark Drives Sustainability through the Heart of its Supply Chain
Kimberly-Clark takes a serious stance on sustainability and environmental responsibility. As the manufacturer of well-known global household brands such as Kleenex, Huggies and Andrex, the company is committed to sustainability in its truest sense and is now starting to reap the benefits of it. The company is both reducing its environmental impact and running a lean and efficient supply chain, which in turn brings real benefit to its biggest customers, grocery retailers, and ultimately to consumers. Along with other initiatives designed to improve its impact on the environment, Kimberly-Clark has implemented i2 Transportation Management solutions in its European and North American operations, to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) output, while also reducing costs.
