12 Kimberly-Clark’s approach to environment, health, and safety (EHS) helps to ensure that our sites work to continuously improve their EHS performance by focusing on reducing risk and promoting compliance with regulations and standards, and further embedding EHS into our culture and ways of working. Framed within an EHS Maturity Model, we have established defined performance standards for our operations and a roadmap to achieve the expected level of performance. This model also requires implementation of an integrated EHS Management System modeled after the International Standards Organization's Management System standards, and sets the leadership agenda to further the mindsets, behaviors, and capabilities essential for strong environment, health and safety accountability, and performance. We Care, We Own, We Act: Values to Live and Work By Our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) improved by 12% over 2020 across our facilities globally. 12% TRIR improvment Environment, Health and Safety Kimberly-Clark has the potential to benefit billions of lives through the products we make, the workplaces we operate, and the communities we serve. But we can only provide Better Care for a Better World by living our values every day, which includes creating a work environment that seeks to protect the health and safety of our employees and helps to safeguard the environment. Managing Through the Pandemic Over the past two years, helping to keep our employees safe from the highly dynamic risks of COVID-19 has often meant going beyond local requirements. In many countries, employees viewed our sites as oases of safety, owing to onsite health protocols that regularly exceeded local standards or requirements. Protocols implemented globally included daily health and temperature checks upon entry, which helped to give our employees peace of mind. When local supplies of face coverings and hand sanitizers dwindled, Kimberly-Clark prioritized obtaining these critical resources for our employees and progressed capabilities to manufacture face masks to support both our employees and our customers. To further mitigate risks and support our teams, where feasible, we also offered preventive programs including free on-site testing, vaccination clinics for employees and family members as well as training and education. During a peak COVID-19 outbreak in Vietnam, the government requested that companies house all employees on site. Kimberly-Clark adopted a high standard and leased entire hotels to create a “safety bubble” for our local employees.
