Kimberly-Clark stands against slavery and human trafficking in any form. In line with our Values, Code of Conduct and Corporate Policies, and pursuant to the UK Modern Slavery Act (2015), California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, and the Australian Modern Slavery Act (2018) (Cth), this document describes the steps we have taken to combat slavery and human trafficking globally in the 2020 financial year (ending 31 December 2020).

This Statement has been developed through a process of consultation involving officers and senior managers of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Kimberly-Clark Limited, Kimberly-Clark Europe Limited, Kimberly-Clark European Services Limited and the following three entities which are each reporting entities for the purposes of the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth): Kimberly-Clark Pacific Holdings Pty Ltd, Kimberly-Clark Australia Holdings Pty Ltd, and Kimberly-Clark Australia Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries.

One of Kimberly-Clark’s core values is being authentic, which means that we continue our heritage of honesty, integrity, and courageously doing the right thing. We were founded on these guiding principles, and they are the standards we hold ourselves accountable to, each and every day. Part of being authentic is speaking up, asking questions, and raising concerns when we need guidance or are not sure that laws, policies, or procedures are being followed correctly.

If any Kimberly-Clark employees suspect something is not right, we encourage them to speak up as soon as possible. Our Code of Conduct guides our behaviour and globally, Kimberly-Clark employees are encouraged to make disclosures under the Code through our K-C Compliance HelpLine. We take unlawful and unethical behaviour very seriously.

In addition to this global policy framework, Kimberly-Clark Australia has introduced this Whistleblower Policy to explain how eligible employees or other stakeholders may make disclosures where they are eligible to do so under the new Australian Whistleblower Regime set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and Tax Administration Act 1953 (Cth).

Please view our Policy for further details of how and when it applies.

Kimberly-Clark’s high ethical standards and our Code of Conduct provide guidance for dealing with customers, suppliers, other employees, competitors and the public with integrity and in an ethical and appropriate manner.

The Code of Conduct and the corporate policies described within it apply worldwide.
