Our Core Beliefs
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. Our values drive our actions and are the foundation for how we work together, with our partners and our consumers.
Authentic
At Kimberly-Clark, we believe in continuing our heritage of honesty, integrity and courageously doing the right thing. We strive to be one of the world's most successful companies, dedicated to winning through hard work and fair play.
Accountable
We take ownership for our business and our future. We establish ambitious goals for our businesses and ourselves and then stretch to exceed them. We feel personally responsible for achieving both our individual and team potential.
Innovative
Our founders established a culture that encouraged entrepreneurial spirit, experimentation in product development and creativity in marketing. We continue to be committed to new ideas that add value for our customers and partners. We recognize that today's best is the benchmark we must surpass tomorrow.
Caring
All this, plus truly respecting each other and caring for the communities where we live and work, makes K-C a company people want to work for and do business with around the world.
At the heart of Kimberly-Clark’s values lies a commitment to the communities in which we live and work. From our 25 North American hometowns to the 35 countries in which we operate, Kimberly-Clark plays an integral part in shaping and contributing to the culture, well being and environment of our neighborhoods.
