Kimberly-Clark Corporation has announced a commitment of $10 million over the next three years to assist the Fox Valley region in Wisconsin as it recovers from the severe tornadoes that recently affected the area. The funding is intended to support long-term recovery efforts, strengthen community resilience, and aid rebuilding initiatives.

This pledge is among the most significant community investments in Kimberly-Clark's history, reflecting the company's deep roots in Neenah, Wisconsin, where it was established in 1872.
"Our connection to Neenah runs deep," said Mike Hsu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimberly-Clark. "The Fox Valley community has played a vital role in shaping Kimberly-Clark into the company it is today. As the region works toward recovery, we remain dedicated to partnering with local residents, organizations, businesses, and civic leaders to help rebuild a stronger and more resilient community."

Kimberly-Clark is collaborating with local authorities, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and community stakeholders to identify both immediate priorities and long-term recovery needs. The company is also evaluating partnerships and initiatives where its financial support can make the greatest difference. The funding will be allocated over a three-year period to ensure continued assistance for sustainable recovery and resilience projects.

Dailycsr.com – 31^st December 2015 – In the month of January 2016 Dubai, at “Intersec 2016” will witness the launch of world first and only camera capable of tracking “hot and cold spot”. The said technology will make its debut in the “Middle Eastern fire market”.
 
The camera has been developed by Scott under Scott SafetyUsing, whereby the “X380N thermal imager” is equipped with “ISG Technology”. Consequently, it can come handy for fire-fighters in order to assess better the situation and be aware of it.
 
With the help of this thermal camera, the firemen can see through a place on fire and manoeuvre through it by creating “paths” as the camera will show them the “cooler spots”. Likewise, they can avoid “highest risk areas”, wherein the ceiling and floors bear the highest risk of collapsing under the blaze.
 
Moreover, the cold spot tracker allows the “first responders to locate and pinpoint thread or valve gas leaks” for gas will remain “colder in temperature than the environment surrounding it”.
 
HSE reports that Scott Safety’s another project that involves the development of next gen “respiratory protection” will be exhibited at the same time.
