Company History
Values Are at the Heart of Who We Are
While our products may evolve, our values remain timeless. For 140 years, these values - to be authentic, accountable, innovative and caring - have been woven throughout the fabric of our company. Everything we do - for the business and for our employees - stems from these four values:
Authentic
Our heritage is one of honesty, integrity and courageously doing the right thing.
Accountable
We take ownership for our business and our future. That means that we take responsibility for everything we do - for our behaviors and our results.
Innovative
We are committed to fresh thinking and breakthrough ideas that add strong value to our customers, our business and our world.
Caring
We respect each other and care for the communities where we live and work. We serve our customers well and deal fairly with our employees.
Guiding the Way We Work
We lead the world in essentials for a better life. To continue to live up to this mission, how we work is just as important as what we achieve. That's why we created the One K-C Behaviors - a framework for how we work together and hold ourselves and each other accountable.
No matter what your role in the organization may be, the One K-C Behaviors help assess performance, identify areas for improvement, and chart a career path that builds on your skills. Candidates are assessed on their aptitude for and demonstration of these behaviors. And consistently demonstrating One K-C Behaviors and meeting objectives will enable you to succeed at Kimberly-Clark.
