When J.A. Kimberly, Charles Clark, Havilah Babcock and Frank Shattuck founded Kimberly, Clark & Co. in 1872, they agreed that quality, service and fair dealing would be the principles upon which they would guide the company’s development. Over the years our culture has evolved but the spirit of our founding principles remain. K-C At Its Best defines the most important beliefs we hold as a company.
Superior Performance
At Kimberly-Clark, we believe in creating superior products which best meet consumers' and customers' needs. We believe in developing brands that are truly meaningful to people and are respected around the world. We strive to be one of the world's most successful companies, dedicated to winning through hard work and fair play.
Exceeding Expectations
We take pride in exceeding the expectations of our customers, colleagues and shareholders. We establish ambitious goals for our businesses and ourselves and then stretch to exceed them. We recognize that today's best is the benchmark we must surpass tomorrow.
Teamwork
We believe in the power of teamwork. We believe by contributing to successful teams we can become respected and trusted members of the K-C family. We value, encourage and challenge each other. We feel personally responsible for achieving both our individual and team potential. We invest in K-C and K-C invests in us. We feel proud of what we accomplish together.
Caring for Others
All this, plus truly caring for the well-being of the people we work with, the people we sell to and the communities we live in, makes K-C a company people want to work for and do business with around the world.
Our spirit of giving touches the lives of people every day, everywhere.
