Reduce Today, Respect Tomorrow*
Our approach begins with the understanding that the way we use resources today shapes the world of tomorrow. And it has led us to focus on reducing consumption at every stage of the product lifecycle - from design and manufacture to distribution and disposal.
Preferred Brands Support LEED® Certification
Kleenex® and Scott® Brand products not only contribute to your building's LEED® certification, they're designed with patented Absorbency Pockets* so users need fewer towels to dry their hands. The result: reduced waste and reduced costs for you.
Philosophy
Sustainability is a key part of our commitment to create Exceptional Workplaces* that are healthier, safer and more productive.
With our Reduce Today, Respect Tomorrow* approach, we incorporate sustainability into everything we do, from design and manufacture to distribution and disposal.
Our responsible choices help you make your own sustainable decisions about the products you choose, the resources you use, and the impact you have.
Leadership
Exceptional Workplaces*, Sustainably Delivered
From third-party certification, we are always seeking new and innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment.
Lifecycle
Our commitment to making your business more sustainable starts with the products we make. That's why we continually work to reduce the environmental impacts of our products at all stages of the lifecycle - from raw materials through ultimate disposal.
Identifying opportunities to reduce impact at every stage helps use less of the world's natural resources, leaving more for the future - for our children, for the planet, for our businesses.
