Since 2004, Greenpeace and countless activists and petitioners like you have asked Kimberly-Clark to save the Boreal forest.

By the end of 2011, the company will no longer use any pulp from the Boreal Forest unless it is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified. The policy also prevents the company from cutting endangered forests, and increases the company\u2019s use of FSC-certified pulp and recycled fiber globally.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With this announcement, Kimberly-Clark, the largest tissue company in the world, becomes a sustainability leader. Now it\u2019s time for Georgia-Pacific and Procter &#038; Gamble, Kimberly-Clark\u2019s main competitors, to create their own policies to protect ancient forests.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This great news is 4 years in the making!
