Kimberly-Clark Cares for Communities Impacted by Recent Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria

In response to the recent devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, Kimberly-Clark is donating essential health and hygiene products to support active relief efforts across the region, including the company's Kotex®, Huggies®, Kleenex®, and Kimberly-Clark Professional™ products, which it's working to distribute as quickly as possible.

The company is coordinating the urgent delivery of products from its manufacturing facilities around the globe, including 2 million Huggies® diapers and 100,000 packs of Kleenex® wipes. Kimberly-Clark has already sent 1 million Kotex® menstrual pads via local charities, as well as Kimberly-Clark Professional™ gloves, coveralls and sterile masks.

In addition, the company established an employee giving program, and the Kimberly-Clark Foundation will match all donations. By supporting the communities where its employees live and work, Kimberly-Clark is delivering on its purpose to provide Better Care for a Better World.
