Stewart Van Horn Director – Global Sustainability Achieving a Superior Sustainability Footprint In Tissue Manufacturing
It begins with our mission… 58,000 employees worldwide $21 Billion+ in Net Sales #1 or #2 position in more than 80 countries Nearly one-quarter of the world’s population use our products daily Leading the world in essentials for a better life. 2
Kimberly-Clark Brands deliver on that mission Personal CareConsumer Tissue Health CareK-C Professional 3 Leading the world in essentials for a better life. 3
Sustainably manufactured within the goals of three foundational pillars 4 Leading the world in essentials for a better life. 4

1. Conservation: Real-Time Energy Management LEAN Energy – LEAN manufacturing management integration – 5%+ reduction in energy/unit typical Energy Conservation Mindset created Focus on efficiently using assets (versus using efficient assets) 13
LEAN Energy: The opportunity
Real-time tools don’t exist to understand that there is a problem Standards don’t exist to trigger action Experiences don’t exist which create the belief in energy’s value Why is it such a challenge:
The solve: LEAN manufacturing deployment of a complete solution: Visual management at the asset level (problem consciousness) Dashboards with real time energy intensity (energy/unit) Operating system changes (accountability) Make overconsumption a ‘red’ condition trigger for action Design rewards to stroke the ‘right’ conservation behavior Mindset & Capability Training (create the shared need) Compelling value of energy/ton; make conservation personal
Standard design for quicker and more standardized implementation Standard Dashboard Defined KC Asset Type Visual Management: A Global Design Standard Seven types of Kimberly-Clark machines defined with metering and data requirements
$1.12 MM $0.74 MM $1.86 MM 2010 (MBTU/BDMT) Energy Consumption (MBTU/MT) Sitio del Niño, El Salvador The Result: 5-8% Energy Reduction
2. Alternate Energy Transform to Optimal Mix/Form Cost & Sustainability Transformation Switch fuels for cost/sustainability Supply “densification” for savings Deploy alternate energy (biomass, solar, wind) Generate electricity from alternate lower cost / Green house gas fuels for utility independence (Co-Generation)
2. Alternate Energy: Co-Generation of Electricity Four Units deployed in last decade (15 – 35 megawatts each) – 4,000,000 MT CO2e cumulative GHG reduction – $30 million+ annual savings Power generation – Co-Generation w/ heat recovery can approach 80% efficiency – Waste heat integration into TM Waste & Energy Combo Solutions – Creating secondary material streams – Flexible alternatives to landfill waste 22

CHP – Romagnano, ITALY
25 20% of mill sludge used as fuel (guarantee) Remaining sludge and ash repurposed into secondary materials / landfill Provides up to 100% of current mill steam needs Biomass Boiler Generates ~ 100% of mill electricity needs Provides another 50% of current mill steam needs supports future expansion needs Co-Gen System 2. Waste & Energy: Combination Value Example
Optimize Supply Value (current mix) Price CI, Reliability, Predictability Influence market regs/legislation Competitively bid contracts Change term length & other T&Cs Incorporate risk for value (int.power, demand response) Sell excess power generated (CHP) Use grants/incentives Incorporate reliability & predictability levers Leverage scale across mills/country/region Price/Cost & Risk Reduction Aggregate /consolidate supply points Aggregate/consolidate suppliers Lift common strategy elements from country ‘sub’-strategies and seek common solution (engineering, design) 3. Energy Supply -Integrated approach (Sustainability & Procurement) multiplies value -Market Study w/ trends known required for pipeline of value initiatives -Takes time to develop game changing options – (ex. High Voltage Power) -‘Grow’ confidence in business leaders w/ small wins to sell larger initiatives
