Welcome to our SDG series: SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation

Starting off this week with another global brand that has made it its mission to make a difference in people’s lives; Kimberly-Clark. Kimberly-Clark, a multinational consumer goods company, actively contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which is aimed at ensuring access to clean water and sanitation for all.

Kimberly-Clark is committed to reducing its water consumption in the manufacturing processes. They have introduced innovative water-efficient technologies and practices across their facilities. For instance, they have adopted advanced water recycling and reuse systems, which have significantly decreased their overall water usage.

Kimberly-Clark manufactures a variety of consumer products that contribute to improved sanitation and hygiene, including tissues, toilet paper, and personal hygiene products. By making these products available and cost-effective, they support better sanitation practices, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.

Therefore, they conduct educational and awareness programs both within their organisation and in the communities where they operate. They educate employees and consumers about water conservation, hygiene, and sanitation practices, thereby promoting responsible water use.

Kimberly-Clark’s commitment to SDG 6 underscores its role in advancing access to clean water and sanitation. Through the implementation of water-efficient practices, support for community initiatives, and the production of products that promote hygiene and sanitation. Through its sustainability efforts, Kimberly-Clark contributes to the well-being of people and communities worldwide.

Stay tuned for next week where we reveal the next company that contributes to SDG 7 about Affordable and Clean Energy.
