6 Kimberly-Clark has continued to foster a culture that embraces inclusion and diversity (I&D). How has the company progressed over the past year? Much of the work associated with the company’s I&D strategy has focused on helping to guide discussions within the company. We believe we have opened the door for enhanced transparency and more candid conversations with team members with varying perspectives around the world, while generating greater recognition of unconscious biases. We also support important work to address systemic inequities. In 2021, the Center for Heirs' Property Preservation™ and the Mississippi Center for Justice announced the Mobile Basin Heirs' Property Support Initiative, a two-year program designed to help historically underserved families in Mississippi protect and keep their forestland, build generational wealth, and promote productive, sustainably managed forests. With support from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Kimberly-Clark, the initiative will provide a combination of legal services, information, and assistance accessing financial resources to help Mississippians resolve land title issues that disproportionately affect Black families and often lead to loss of land, wealth, and forest resources. Could you describe how Kimberly- Clark’s values influenced the company’s operations in 2021? A top priority continues to be protecting the health and safety of our people, which was evident in the extraordinary measures that the company took to help protect our employees through the pandemic while keeping our supply chain moving so consumers had access to essential products. At the same time, we furthered the integration of our new sustainability goals into the organization and invested in additional monitoring of our supply chain for human rights risks that could be inconsistent with our values. Last fall, we released a new Culture Compass, which defines how our teams around the world can bring our purpose to life through strong values and ways of working. It challenges us to be purpose-led and performance driven, aligning our teams behind Better Care for a Better World. As we impact lives through the products we make, the workplaces we create and the communities we serve, this is an inspiring privilege and an important responsibility.
