Kimberly-Clark Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report
for the Year Ended December 31, 2014
This Conflict Minerals Report of Kimberly-Clark Corporation has been prepared for the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “Kimberly-Clark,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
During 2014, certain of our operations manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, products for which 3TGs (as defined below) are necessary to their functionality or production (“Covered Products”). The term “3TGs” refers to columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. In 2014, we manufactured or contracted for manufacture Covered Products through our K-C Professional business and, prior to its spin-off on October 31, 2014, our health care business. Electronic components account for a significant majority of any 3TGs present in our Covered Products. Electronic components commonly contain 3TGs for a variety of reasons (e.g., tin may be present in solder).
Our K-C Professional business helps transform workplaces for employees and patrons, making them healthier, safer and more productive, through a range of solutions and supporting products such as apparel, wipers, soaps, sanitizers, tissue and towels. Prior to its spin-off, our health care business provided essentials that help restore patients to better health and improve the quality of patients’ lives by offering surgical and infection prevention products for the operating room, and a portfolio of innovative medical devices focused on pain management, respiratory and digestive health.
We have developed a conflict minerals compliance program reasonably designed to identify whether the 3TGs in our Covered Products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda or Zambia) (collectively, the “Covered Countries”), or whether any of the 3TGs in our Covered Products are from recycled or scrap sources. Our conflict minerals compliance program is overseen by a team of subject matter experts from key functions, including from our global regulatory affairs, finance, legal, procurement and research and engineering departments, with assistance from a third-party consulting firm that executed certain procedures under our direction, supervision and oversight. Senior management is informed about the progress and results of the program.
We address 3TGs sourced from the Covered Countries in our Supplier Social Compliance Standards, which are embedded in our Purchase Order Terms and Conditions and certain of our supplier agreements, as well as posted on our corporate website at: http://www.kimberly-clark.com/sustainability/people/CSC.aspx.
Our suppliers are required to source responsibly and adhere to our Supplier Social Compliance Standards which require suppliers to source 3TGs from mines and smelters that are either outside of the Covered Countries or that are designated as “conflict-free” by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition - Global eSustainability Initiative (“EICC-GeSI”). These standards further require our suppliers to develop and provide written evidence of their own due diligence programs to promote “conflict-free” supply chains. We engage independent third-party audit firms to conduct Supplier Social Compliance audits (on-site inspections) of selected suppliers of certain commodity categories, particularly contract manufacturers. If an assessment reveals that the supplier is in violation of our Supplier Social Compliance Standards, we require that the supplier submit documentation showing that violations have been addressed and remediated. We conduct additional follow-up audits at our discretion to confirm compliance with our Supplier Social Compliance Standards. Any concerns regarding suppliers or our compliance program can be reported to our Corporate Social Compliance team as specified on our Corporate Social Compliance website.
In addition, to ensure our suppliers understand our expectations regarding the sourcing of 3TGs, we and our third-party consultant have provided training to our suppliers through webinars, videos and substantial one-on-one discussions.
Description of Our Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
We have conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) that was designed to determine whether any of the 3TGs in our Covered Products originated from one of the Covered Countries or was from recycled or scrap sources.
In conducting our RCOI, we used a risk-based approach. First, we identified our products which contain or potentially contain 3TGs necessary to their functionality or production. Second, we identified the direct suppliers of the materials, components and finished goods supplied to us for those products. Third, we categorized the suppliers as “high risk,” “medium risk,” “low risk” and “very low risk,” based on the likelihood that the materials they supply to us contain 3TGs. Fourth, we conducted a supply chain survey of our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of any 3TGs contained in materials supplied to us in our Covered Products, including sources of 3TGs supplied to these direct suppliers from second-tier suppliers, as well as suppliers further upstream.
Our survey included all high risk and medium risk suppliers. We determined that it would not be necessary to survey all of our low risk and very low risk suppliers; rather, we developed a representative sample of those suppliers, taking into account, among other factors, whether the supplier was a U.S. publicly-held company and the amount of the supplier’s business with Kimberly-Clark. In addition, we conducted a supply-chain survey of all low risk and very low risk suppliers that previously received a survey for a prior reporting period but failed to respond.
We implemented and administered our supply chain survey with the assistance of our third-party consultant. The survey employed the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”) developed by the EICC-GeSI. The CMRT was developed to facilitate general disclosures and information regarding smelters that provide materials to the supplier. It includes questions regarding the supplier’s conflict-free minerals policy, the engagement process with its direct suppliers and identification of the smelters used by the supplier.
As of May 15, 2015, approximately 93% of our direct suppliers included in the supply chain survey have responded, including all of our high risk and medium risk suppliers. Ten suppliers indicated that their supply chain includes smelters or refiners sourcing from the Covered Countries; however, we have validated in the due diligence process described below that each of these smelters and refiners has been certified as “conflict-free” by an internationally-recognized validation scheme for 3TG smelters and refiners. A significant majority of the responses received were unable to specify all smelters or refiners used for materials supplied to us. Furthermore, many of the responses were provided at the company or division level, rather than the product level, and indicated that the origin of 3TGs was “unknown.”
Due Diligence Process
Following our RCOI, we conducted a due diligence review of the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs contained in our Covered Products. Our due diligence measures were designed to conform in all material respects with the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”) and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten.
As part of this due diligence process, we reviewed the suppliers’ responses to the surveys discussed above against criteria developed to determine which responses required further engagement with the suppliers. These criteria included untimely or incomplete responses, as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the CMRT. We developed and implemented a risk management plan that includes the following elements:
| |
• | Incorporation of conflict minerals compliance language into our contracts with direct suppliers as they are entered into or renewed. |
| |
• | Communication directly with executive officers of our suppliers of our conflict minerals requirements under our Supplier Social Compliance Standards, as described above. |
| |
• | Communication with suppliers who do not satisfy our due diligence requests to obtain more complete and accurate responses. |
| |
• | Additional follow up, due diligence, and/or risk mitigation activities, as appropriate, upon learning of changes in supplier circumstances or information. |
Certain of the responses to the surveys included the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. We do not have direct relationships with 3TG smelters or refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. We compared these facilities listed in the responses to the lists of smelters and refiners maintained by the CFSI, the United States Department of Commerce (“DoC”) and the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) and, if a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as conflict-free, confirmed that the name was listed by one of the internationally-recognized validation schemes for 3TG smelters and refiners. Attachment A lists the smelters and refiners that the suppliers we surveyed reported as being in their supply chains and indicates which of these smelters and refiners have been certified as conflict-free. The large majority of the responses received either provided data at a company or divisional level or did not specify the smelters or refiners used for materials supplied to us. We are therefore unable to determine whether the smelters or refiners reported by certain suppliers processed the 3TGs in the materials supplied to us or to validate that any of these smelters or refiners are actually in our supply chain. Attachment B contains an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the reported facilities collectively source conflict minerals, based on information provided by suppliers and the CFSI.
We believe that the inquiries and investigations described above represent a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of the 3TGs in our Covered Products with the greatest possible specificity, including (1) seeking information about 3TG smelters and refiners in our supply chain through requesting that our suppliers complete the CMRT, (2) verifying those smelters and refiners using the CFSI, DoC and LBMA lists, (3) conducting the due diligence review, and (4) obtaining additional documentation and verification, as applicable. Our existing policy related to relevant documentation of our conflict mineral compliance process requires that documentation will be retained for a period of at least five years.
Risk Mitigation
We have taken or intend to take the following steps to further mitigate the risk that the 3TGs in our Covered Products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
| |
• | Continue to review the refinement and expansion of the CFSI, DoC and LBMA lists of smelters and refiners to validate the smelters and refiners provided by suppliers. |
| |
• | Educate and train suppliers with respect to developments in conflict minerals compliance programs and encourage them to establish procedures to identify the origin of 3TGs. |
| |
• | Further improve our direct supplier surveys and due diligence process to gather data regarding the sources of any 3TGs contained in materials supplied to us by continuing to engage with suppliers and direct them to training resources in order to increase the survey response rate and improve response content. |
| |
• | Encourage suppliers that provided company or division level information for 2014 to provide product level information for 2015 through ongoing communications with these suppliers. |
| |
• | Maintain a supplier screening program that requires our suppliers to provide information regarding 3TGs and requires each new in-scope direct supplier we add to our supply chain to provide a completed CMRT. |
| |
• | Continue to incorporate conflict minerals compliance language into our contracts with direct suppliers as they are entered into or renewed. |
