GreenBiz caught up with Lisa Morden, vice president for safety and sustainability at Kimberly-Clark, which is behind brands Huggies, Kleenex and Kotex, to discuss the report, the company’s progress on past goals and its new ambitions, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morden:他们也继续成为我们前进的关键组成部分,也是我会说的。But in terms of the progress so far, the 2022 goals related to waste actually have an objective around diverting post-consumer waste from inappropriate disposal outlets, i.e. random disposal into the environment, whether that's oceans or on land, and/or trying to avoid landfilling as well moving up the value chain even further. We've been able to divert [about] 26,300 metric tons post consumer. So we've been able to progress against that target.
以及议定书和健康和安全机制以及我们所建立的其他保护措施首先是我们。We certainly wanted to keep those consumers stocked with those essential products, of course, but the other realization that I think has come to the fore for us is that the people that are keeping those essential services running in the world — not just K-C employees, but in the world — [are] maybe some of the most vulnerable people out there as well. And the kind of products that we can support and provide to them in these very difficult situations really fueled a lot of our philanthropic and product donation activities as well.
