Workplace diversity is an asset to our business. We want our workforce to reflect and understand the broad range of backgrounds and experiences of our customers, consumers and communities around the world. Valuing differences and similarities across our workforce helps attract the best talent and gives every employee the opportunity to do well.

We have a European Diversity Council whose role is to advise our European leadership on diversity issues.

We are members of a number of diversity organizations in the U.S. including:

• National Society of Black Engineers. K-C joined their Board of Corporate Affiliates in 2000. We hold the highest level of corporate membership. NSBE has 270 chapters, 18,000 members.
• Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. K-C is a member of their Industrial Partner Council. K-C has conducted workshops at the last five conventions. SHPE has over 7,000 members.
• Society of Women Engineers. K-C is a member of their Corporate Partnership Council. SWE offers professional and personal development. K-C women are in leadership roles at national level and the Atlanta chapter in Georgia.
• Catalyst Research. An advisory organization working to build inclusive environments and expand opportunities for women at work. Database available to all K-C employees. Annual conference attended by K-C women and other executives.
