This marks the 13th year that Kimberly-Clark was included in the ranking.

“This year, Kimberly-Clark celebrates 150 years of category-defining innovation, a strong culture of care and growing our business the right way,” said Mike Hsu, Chairman and CEO of Kimberly-Clark. “We’re proud to be included in the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list. This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams around the globe who are fulfilling our purpose of Better Care for a Better World by positively impacting billions of lives through the products we make, the workplaces we create and the communities we serve.”
