June 8, 2020 /3BL Media/ - On World Oceans Day today, Kimberly-Clark joined the ReSource: Plastic team, a group launched last year by WWF to bring together companies and find solutions to the plastics problem.

As Kimberly-Clark marks the 100^th anniversary of its Kotex brand, the company is hosting a global conversation on how Kotex and their global NGO partners will champion the progress of women and girls for the next century.

About 25 percent of U.S women don’t have the means to buy period supplies, a statistic that prompted U by Kotex® to become the founding partner of the nonprofit Alliance for Period Supplies in 2018.

As this need rises dramatically during the coronavirus pandemic, Kimberly-Clark’s U by Kotex® brand donated 1 million menstrual pads and panty liners to the Alliance for Period Supplies. This donation is in addition to its annual commitment.

Kimberly-Clark’s support in a 3-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) project is helping foster the growth of renewable energy in LaGrange, Georgia.

Through a collaboration between Kimberly-Clark’s LaGrange manufacturing facility, United Renewable Energy LLC, and a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, the 3MW solar facility, along with all the renewable energy credits (RECs), will be sold to Georgia Power as part of Georgia Power’s Renewable Energy Development Initiative.
