Cottonelle

🚨 Cottonelle (Kimberly-Clark) Boycott Reasons and Overview

Cottonelle is a registered personal care and consumer hygiene brand operating under the American multinational conglomerate Kimberly-Clark. The inclusion of Cottonelle on global boycott and corporate accountability databases is directly tied to parent company Kimberly-Clark's commercial investments in israel, its historical supply chain ties to illegal settlements, and its institutional backing of the occupation economy:

• Direct Manufacturing Through Hogla-Kimberly (Kimberly-Clark israel): Through its wholly-owned israeli subsidiary Kimberly-Clark israel, the company operates multiple production plants across israel, providing direct industrial infrastructure, employment, and substantial tax revenue that sustains the israeli state budget.
• Supply Chain Ties to the Illegal Barkan Settlement: Kimberly-Clark historically relied on nonwoven material suppliers situated in the illegal Barkan Industrial Zone in the occupied West Bank (such as Avgol Industries, listed in United Nations databases of companies operating in illegal settlements), directly profiting from expropriated Palestinian territory.
• Major Institutional Shareholders: Vanguard & BlackRock Weapons Exposure: The primary institutional owners of Kimberly-Clark, Vanguard and BlackRock, are documented in United Nations (OHCHR) human rights inquiries as leading institutional shareholders in weapons manufacturers supplying military hardware used against civilians in Gaza.
• Corporate Double Standards: While scaling down operations in Russia citing international humanitarian principles, Kimberly-Clark continues its extensive commercial manufacturing footprint in israel unabated during documented international war crimes in Gaza.
• Consumer Capital Channeling: Global purchases of essential hygiene items including Cottonelle, Huggies, Kotex, Kleenex, and Depend directly bolster the parent company's consolidated balance sheet and its local israeli enterprise.

Proceeds from Cottonelle directly enrich Kimberly-Clark's corporate treasury. For comprehensive documentation, UN settlement databases, and corporate records, visit the 👉 Kimberly-Clark Boycott Dossier.
