What Greenpeace learned from 5 years with Kimberly-Clark

For Kimberly-Clark's perspective on this partnership,read this article by Lisa Morden,金伯利克拉克全球可持续发展高级总监。必威体育2018

正式结束后五年以上“kleercut." campaign, Kimberly-Clark and Greenpeace are still hanging out. Why? Well, first of all, Kimberly-Clark hasdelivered on its commitments。这使得GreenPeacce幸福,并使您可以轻松地继续进行我们的相互参与度。此外,事实证明,难以置信的活动结束标志着真实工作的开始和两侧的学习。这里有五个经验教训从绿色和平的角度来看。

1. Dare to trust

当被问及那些变得越来越多的协作时,很难假装在比赛中没有混合问题。也就是说,当双方的铅谈判者开始相互信任时,事情开始发生变化。这不是一件简单的事情。竞选人员有充分的理由,对公司及其发言人的健康怀疑。经常公司经常试图传递greenwashfor real change. And, it’s not hard to understand why it may be difficult for those within companies to be comfortable trusting someone who beat up their brands for years.

然而,信任构建有一个自然的动力it. At first, it is risky. Then, when it turns out trusting was the right decision, it gets easier to do it again. That is why trust-building has continued between Kimberly-Clark and Greenpeace over the last five years. I don’t think either side has ever blindly accepted what the other side has said. But, we both now know that anything but transparency, clear communication, and acting in good faith will end up backfiring.

2.不要限制潜在的好处

The Greenpeace Kleercut campaign stemmed from concerns about the Canadian Boreal forest. And, while Kimberly-Clark has had a positive effect on Boreal forest conservation since 2009, the effect of the new policy and our collaboration has had a much larger effect. After all, the Kimberly-Clark fiber buying policy is global. I’m reminded of this when I see Kimberly-Clark products in airport bathrooms, hotels and store shelves worldwide.

而且,这不仅仅是对受影响的产品线采购。Kimberly-Clark和GreenPeace在共同兴趣的问题上合作。最近森林管理委员会大会, the engagement of Kimberly-Clark helped Greenpeace craft and通过动议以节省完整的森林景观。This improves the world’s most respected forest certification system and will have positive effects on forests far beyond the Kimberly-Clark supply chain.

而且,对于金伯利克拉克,作为采购标准的转变的开始变成了更多的文化转变。不,100多岁公司没有完全不同。但是,作为随后的产品创新and公告展示,公司正在建立,而不仅仅是履行,承诺于2009年提出。

让仇敌讨厌

GreenPeacce对争议没有陌生人。多年来,我已经习惯了修辞和箭头,以及真实的威胁。扶手椅倡导者,从互联网的舒适,指责绿色和以某种方式卖出的公司(注意:绿色和平组织没有从公司那里拿钱,而且永远不会借钱)。在频谱的另一边,反守护意识形态直立荒谬的阴谋理论,挖掘绿色和平,自由,美国和苹果派(注意:我觉得苹果派,像自由一样美味)。

The announcement of the new Kimberly-Clark fiber buying policy in 2009 was no exception. Some environmentalists said Kimberly-Clark’s plan wasn’t good enough. Anti-conservation hacks said Kimberly-Clark had made a big mistake. We even saw a company lash out against Greenpeace and Kimberly-Clark, cynically seeking to boost its own sales on the back of the media attention our collaboration was garnering. Over time, the haters fell silent as benefits to forests and the bottom-line proved them wrong. You can’t make everyone happy, but you can do what’s right and wait out the hate.

等待可以值得

有些公司在由绿色和平的召唤时迅速移动,但克拉克的情况并非如此。Kleercut运动是很长的,跨越近五年。有时,有些人认为可能永远无法解决这一运动。毕竟,我们要求公司为其核心产品提供新的全球采购标准。新的纸浆购买标准可能意味着价格增加......有竞争力的公司尽量避免所有费用(双关语)。

当Kimberly-Clark和GreenPeacce终于达到协议时,公司对其新采购政策的承诺可能比其他可能更强大。公司有很多赌注才能使其工作。多年来,媒体和利益相关者重视绿色和平活动所提出的问题。我们达到全球数百万潜在客户。回扣或追求与少于真正的野心的新承诺会毫无疑问。

多年的竞选意味着公司中有很多人受到影响。那些经历了冲突的人,而不是在绿色和平的合作地位中可能不想尽快回到这一点。我们了解到,持久的变化有时需要更大的投资,虽然绿色和平组织没有以这种方式计划,但我们很高兴结果。

5.“结束”是真实工作的开始

与仇敌不同,很多人都准备好了好消息。因此,当冲突结束和协作开始时,人们很容易鼓掌并假设已经修复了问题(无论是什么)。不是。许多企业承诺都摇摇欲坠......一些着名的。而且,像绿色成分一样的非政府组织经常发现运行宣传活动更容易,而不是资源在地面上创造实际结果的长期实施工作。

虽然绿色和平组织已经投入关注的kimberly-clark,但有很多东西我们可以做得更好。例如,我们不应该需要五年来才能回来,庆祝已经完成的事情,并向世界沟通。
