Singapore Environment Council awards first enhanced green label to Kimberly-Clark

Consumer goods firm Kimberly-Clark is the first company to have 12 of its pulp and paper products certified by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) under the enhanced Singapore Green Labelling Scheme.

The scheme, revised in January, holds firms responsible for ensuring that in the production of their goods, there is proper management of peatland and fires, for instance.

Kimberly-Clark was the only company that qualified so far out of 13 applicants for the certification. The 12 certified products include Kleenex and Scott hand and kitchen towels, tissue paper, napkins and toilet paper.
