| At Kimberly-Clark de Mexico (KCM) we are totally aware that,
in addition to providing products that improve our consumers'
overall well being, we are part of a community and, as such,
we participate in specific programs focused towards making
this world a better world. To this effect, we provide resources,
time and talent to a number of environmental protection initiatives; a description of
the most relevant efforts follows: |

Environmental Conservation |
|
| Mexico is blessed with precious ecosystems and native species.
Unfortunately, sometimes they are threatened or endangered;
KCM constantly takes part in programs, like those of Unidos
para la Conservación, for the protection of berrendos
(deer-like wild mammal found in the Mexican highlands), vaquitas
marinas (acuatic calf), the royal eagle and other valuable
species found in our country. |

Recycling Programs |
|
KCM operates four mills that recycle several grades of wastepaper
in such a manner that the fiber obtained during this process
allows for the substitution of up to 280,000 metric tons per
year of virgin pulp in our products' manufacturing. On the
other hand, KCM has a permanent capital investment program
to increase the re-circulation of water and improve the quality
of effluents at our production sites. |
