Social responsibility at K/P means achieving commercial success in ways that honor ethical values and respect for people, communities, and the natural environment.

A comprehensive set of policies, practices and programs that are integrated into business operations, supply chains, and decision-making processes throughout the company – wherever the company does business – and includes responsibility for current and past actions as well as future impacts.

Respect for people:

  • Promoting diversity and affirmative action
  • Life balance with remote workforces
  • Philanthropy and supporting the cycle of good

Respect for communities:

  • Exceeding disposal and recycling requirements
  • Mindful usage of resources and energy
  • Aligning supplier policies
  • Recognizing employees who do great things for our community

Respect for the environment:

  • Proactive advocacy programs
  • Managing carbon footprint metrics
  • Certifications and compliance

K/P has an established environmental policy and conscientiously ensures its effective implementation. All K/P facilities are scheduled to achieve ISO 14001 self certification by the end of 2009. Just as our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of quality, the new certification provides the framework for best practices in environmental stewardship. We are also a founding member of the Green Marketing Coalition and a member the Bay Area Green Business Program.
