Insights into Kimberly-Clark's Energy Renewability
In 2023, Kimberly-Clark consumed a total of 48.9 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 0.35% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 99.65% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Kimberly-Clark's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Kimberly-Clark's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2023, Kimberly-Clark consumed a total of 48.9 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 0.35% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that Kimberly-Clark has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Are Kimberly-Clark's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2021, Kimberly-Clark's total energy consumption decreased by 3.73%, including a further 4.9% drop in 2023, highlighting a continued decline in energy use.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy decreased by 52.25%, with a further 28.93% drop in 2023, highlighting a weakening in renewable energy performance.
Overall, Kimberly-Clark’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.
