United Way of America (UWA) honored Kimberly-Clark (K-C) Corporation as a Summit Award recipient of its coveted Spirit of America Award program, recognizing the company's outstanding commitment to improve lives in local communities.
UWA recognized Kimberly-Clark at its national United Way Community Leaders Conference in Denver, Colorado as a Summit Award recipient for Corporate Community Investment.
The Spirit of America Awards program is United Way's highest tribute for corporate community involvement. Spirit of America and Summit Award recipients are judged on detailed criteria in four categories: Employee Community Investment, Corporate Community Investment, Community Leadership and Employee Community Engagement.
The Spirit of America winner excels in each of these four categories. Summit Awards are presented to companies that excel in one or more of these areas.
In keeping with its business mission to enhance the health, hygiene and well-being of people around the world every day, Kimberly-Clark uses the same philosophy when it comes to its philanthropy. Kimberly-Clark supports organizations that are designed and dedicated to improving the lives of the world's families.
Built on a culture of caring, Kimberly-Clark provides charitable resources to organizations and programs that provide vital information resources and services that strengthen today's families; that involve parents and others in activities that help children grow physically, mentally and socially; and that develop creative caring options to cope with the issues facing older relatives.
