Go student power! In a newspaper article published in Harvard University’s the Harvard Crimson, Harvard University announced that it is beginning a phase-out of Kimberly-Clark products in student housing facilities. And at the Kimberly-Clark AGM (its Annual General Meeting- i.e. a yearly meeting for the company and people who own stock in it), Harvard student Elizabeth Shope got up in front of KC board members, KC executives and KC shareholders and announced this!
Harvard is the fourth campus to express concern over Kimberly-Clark’s poor sustainability practices following American University, Skidmore College and Rice University.
