THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* – a unique initiative with sustainability at its core
As the market leader in professional health and hygiene solutions, KIMBERLY- CLARK PROFESSIONAL* is committed to sustainability principles in all it does. Our mission is to partner with businesses to create EXCEPTIONAL WORKPLACES* where people are healthier, safer, and more productive. Our holistic approach to sustainability, which encompasses social, environmental and economic sustainability, supports this mission.
The three key components of Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s Sustainability 2015 vision – People, Planet and Products – are closely aligned with THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT*, a ground-breaking initiative by KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* specifically designed to promote a healthier, more engaged workforce.
By providing companies with the tools needed to reduce the spread of germs that cause illness in the office, THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* creates a working environment where employees are less likely to be off work sick, and are therefore more likely to be happy and productive. In this way, THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* is able to meet the KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* pledge to put People at the heart of its sustainability programme. A happy workforce means happier communities, which benefits society at large.
Employers can implement THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* measures for just £3 per month per head – a small price to pay considering the annual cost of absenteeism in the UK is estimated at £1,250 per employee. Launched in Europe and the US in 2011, THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* is already yielding impressive results among those companies that have taken part. One KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* customer has managed to reduce absenteeism by a staggering 45% in an office of 500 employees since participating in the initiative.
THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* is 72 | SUSTAINABLE CLEANING about more than just people. It is
delivered via a unique product bundle developed by KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* to meet the specific demands of the office environment. Each workplace is assessed by a highly trained KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* Wellness Consultant, who will subsequently make tailored recommendations regarding the selection and location of products that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause common illnesses, such as colds, flu and upset stomachs.
In tune with the Product pillar of the Sustainability 2015 vision, every one of the products in THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* bundle has been created using smart design principles that drive reduced usage – which is key to minimising environmental impact and cost-in-use.
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* understands that resources are finite, so it works to continually reduce the environmental impact of its operations. In this way, the efforts it makes as part of its focus on the Product pillar of Sustainability 2015 are all geared towards benefiting the third and final pillar of the programme – Planet.
As a global company, KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* takes its impact on our planet seriously. That’s why all the products in THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* bundle are made with a focus on reducing their environmental impact at each stage of their lifecycle, from design to final disposal.
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* is famous for its high quality, hygienic disposable hand towels. Do you know just how sustainable they are? For example, many of the company’s products incorporate AIRFLEX* fabric technology, which uses 17% less fibre than standard fabric. Many are also FSC or Ecolabel certified (some are both), helping to provide customers with at-a-glance reassurance that
they are buying hand towels that have been manufactured responsibly.
The Planet pillar of the Sustainability 2015 programme is also exemplified by the high performance hand hygiene products supplied by KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*. The company’s hand sanitisers are made from renewable bioethanol, while several of its hand cleansers are Ecolabel certified.
Integration of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Sustainability 2015 vision into THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT* ensures that those three crucial pillars – People, Planet and Product – are given the care and attention they deserve.
It is a strategy that is perfectly encapsulated in the long-standing KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* approach to sustainability – Reduce Today, Respect Tomorrow*. This approach begins with the understanding that the way we use resources today shapes the world of tomorrow.
THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE PROJECT*, like everything KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* does, is infused with this philosophy, culminating in a unique and highly effective holistic approach to sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
