These values reflect an understanding of our responsibility to make a positive contribution to the people we serve around the globe. In all that we do, we’re building a legacy of positive impact.

We define these expectations in our Code of Conduct. It guides our employees to make the right decisions for Kimberly-Clark, our customers and consumers by fostering a culture of integrity. We hold our business partners to the same high standards that we hold ourselves.

The Code is a resource for our employees, business partners and others who contribute to our success. We consult it regularly, ask questions if we need guidance, and raise any concerns we might have. And retaliation is never tolerated.

At Kimberly-Clark, we speak up, ask questions and seek answers. Contact us with questions or concerns at [email protected].

Kimberly-Clark believes that communication between the Board, stockholders and other interested parties is an important part of the Corporation's corporate governance process. To this end, the Corporation has established the following procedures by which interested parties may communicate with the Board.

Stockholders and other interested parties may send written communications to the Board in care of the Lead Director:

Lead Director
Kimberly-Clark Corporation
P.O. Box 619100
Dallas, Texas 75261-9100

The Lead Director has determined that it would be appropriate for communications addressed to the Board to be received by the Corporation's Stockholder Services Department and reviewed first by the Corporate Secretary's office. The Lead Director has instructed the Corporate Secretary to:

• Refer good faith allegations of improper accounting, internal controls or auditing matters affecting the Corporation to the General Counsel for processing under the procedures established by the Audit Committee.
• Refer good faith allegations of other improper conduct affecting the Corporation to the Lead Director and the General Counsel.
• Refer questions concerning the Corporation's products and human resources issues to the appropriate department in the Corporation for a response.
• Refer comments concerning the Corporation's general corporate governance, as well as similar communications, to the Lead Director.

The Corporate Secretary will advise the Board at its regularly scheduled meetings of significant communications from stockholders and other interested parties.
