KMB Included as a component company of Dow Jones Sustainability Index

KMB Holdings has again been included as a component company of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) in this year's corporate sustainability assessment. KMB has achieved excellent results across all three dimensions of corporate sustainability in the assessment, namely economic, environmental and social dimensions on a global basis.

Mr. John Chan, Managing Director of KMB, said, "We are very proud that KMB is again included as a component company of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. It indicates that our efforts and achievements have been duly recognised in the international arena. KMB will continue to work hard on all fronts to enhance its sustainability performance. By increasing our productivity and cost effectiveness, supporting environmental protection and further developing a corporate culture of service excellence, we are confident that we can strengthen our leading position in a highly competitive market."

Launched in 1999, the DJSI is the world's first sustainability index which tracks the performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies all over the world. The assessment conducted for the DJSI is regarded as the world's first systematic, rational and consistent methodology that quantifies corporate sustainability performance for the financial community. At present, major global financial institutions are using the index as a benchmark for index-based financial products.

KMB has been a component company of the DJSI since 2000.
