The facts as we know them today...
Energy use has been rising over the past 30 years, mainly because changes in lifestyle mean that people are using more energy. The trend is expected to continue.
Leading environmental bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) believe that energy use and its
contribution to climate change is among society's greatest
environmental risks.
Our point of view...
As a global company, Kimberly-Clark (the maker of Huggies®) recognises that we must contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We can do this by increasing our energy efficiency and using cost-effective renewable and alternative energy sources.
We believe that our continued product and process development
makes it possible to continuously improve our energy usage.
