Kimberly-Clark Corporation

Conflict Minerals Report

for the Year Ended December 31, 2015

This Conflict Minerals Report of Kimberly-Clark Corporation has been prepared for the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “Kimberly-Clark,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

During 2015, 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. The vast majority of our products do not contain 3TGs and our revenue from sales of Covered Products in 2015 was immaterial relative to our total net sales. In 2015, we manufactured or contracted for manufacture Covered Products primarily through our K-C Professional business. We have no reason to believe that any of the Covered Products are in our consumer businesses, which include our Personal Care and Consumer Tissue operating segments.

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 (for example tin is usually present in solder). The Covered Products include dispensers (e.g., for hand sanitizers, soaps and paper products) which contain electronic sensors and actuators. In addition, certain of our welding kits may contain tin and tungsten in metal components of the kits.

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 an internal team of subject matter experts from key functions (“Core Team”), with assistance from a third-party consulting firm that executed certain procedures under our direction, supervision and oversight.

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 product materials 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 each supplier’s “supplier risk” as “high risk,” “medium risk,” “low risk” and “very low risk,” based on the supplier’s annual revenues and whether they are a U.S. publically held company. Fourth, we similarly risk-stratified each supplier’s “materials risk” based on the likelihood that the product materials they supply to us contain 3TGs. Fifth, 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. In 2015, the Core Team reviewed the complete list of material groups to confirm that no additional suppliers were added to the supply chain as well as to confirm prior conclusions of which material groups were likely to contain 3TGs.

Our survey included those suppliers rated with a materials risk of high risk and medium risk. As we determined that it would not be necessary to survey all of our low risk and very low risk rated suppliers, in the first year of the conflict minerals program we developed a representative sample of those suppliers, taking into account the risk-based approach outlined above. This sampling program allowed us to confirm that the materials associated with our low risk and very low risk suppliers do not contain 3TGs. We continued to survey the sampling group in 2015 and, in addition, we conducted a supply-chain survey of all low risk and very low risk suppliers that failed to respond previously.

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 Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition - Global eSustainability Initiative. 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 9, 2016, approximately 98% of our direct suppliers included in the supply chain survey have responded, including all of our high risk and medium risk suppliers. Nine 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 and the related Supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten.

Management Systems and Controls

Internal Team

The Company has a centralized, cross-functional conflict minerals Core Team to oversee the implementation and daily administration of the program, which includes geographically diverse representation from the following departments: Procurement; Legal; Finance; Internal Audit; Environmental, Health, Safety & Sustainability; and Corporate Social Compliance. The Core Team periodically reports to senior management on program developments and progress. The Company’s Senior Vice President & Chief Supply Chain Officer serves as the executive sponsor of the Conflict Minerals Compliance program. Members of the Core Team have formed and have participated in industry groups, forums, and conferences focused on compliance with responsible sourcing of conflict minerals and related legal requirements.

Control Systems

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 smelters and refiners who source outside of the Covered Countries or that are designated as “conflict-free” by the CFSI. 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 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. During 2015, we conducted 155 supplier audits covering 132 suppliers.

In 2015, we engaged a third party to reach out to a number of our stakeholders and seek input on how well our sustainability report provided transparent, comprehensive and accessible coverage of key issues. In addition, we asked stakeholders for their views on the sustainability issues they expect would have a significant impact on Kimberly-Clark in the future. We engaged stakeholders from eight groups (business partners, suppliers, customers, employees, investors, socially responsible investors, NGOs and academics) through interviews and written questionnaires.

Supplier Engagement

We rely on our direct (tier one) suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TGs contained in components and materials supplied to us - including sources of 3TGs that are supplied to them from upstream suppliers.

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. The Company conducts periodic in-house training of its key business units, e.g., Research and Engineering; Procurement; and Environmental, Health, Safety and Sustainability, to educate employees to identify 3TGs in products and to work more closely with our suppliers to encourage responsible sourcing.

As part of our on-going stakeholder engagement efforts, we require key contract manufacturing facilities to certify that they would participate in our Corporate Social Compliance Program and adhere to our Supplier Social Compliance Standards. In 2015, the Company achieved 100% participation from its key contract manufacturers.

Grievance Mechanism

Kimberly-Clark maintains a comprehensive and multi-faceted system for the reporting of Code of Conduct violations, concerns and grievances. To ensure that every employee (and every stakeholder) has the ability to report concerns on an anonymous basis, we have established a Code of Conduct telephone hotline which is staffed by a professional independent company. This line is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and one can give a report in any language. The reporting process and hotline contact information are posted on our external website. In addition, we sent our Code of Conduct, which includes information about the hotline, to all key suppliers during 2015.

Calls are investigated by various internal subject matter experts in our Compliance, Internal Audit, Global Security, Human Resources and Legal departments. We report summary results and statistics to our executive leadership and our Board of Directors as deemed appropriate.

Maintenance of Records

We have adopted a policy to retain relevant documentation for a minimum of five years.

Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

As part of our due diligence process, we reviewed our suppliers’ responses to the supply chain survey against criteria developed to determine which responses required further engagement. These criteria included untimely or incomplete responses, as well as inconsistencies within the reported data.

Certain of the responses to the surveys included the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. We compared each facility listed in the responses to the lists of smelters and refiners maintained by the CFSI to verify the existence of the facility and to determine whether the facility is certified as conflict-free.

We classify each listed smelter or refiner as high, medium or low risk based on three scoring criteria: recognition by the CFSI, geographic proximity to the Covered Countries, and certification by the CFSI as conflict-free. If any smelter or refiner is not recognized by the CFSI, we conduct outreach and research to gain more information about whether they are a smelter or a refiner, sourcing practices, location, and country of origin. Additionally, if any smelter is not certified conflict-free, we conduct outreach providing education on the Conflict-Free Smelter Program and encouraging them to join this program.

Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

We have developed a risk management plan that includes the following elements:


•	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.

Carry out Independent Third Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

We encourage targeted suppliers and/or facilities to participate in comparable due diligence validation activities. We do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, and we do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain.

Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

The Company reports annually on supply chain due diligence by filing a Form SD and a Conflict Minerals Report with the SEC.

Due Diligence Results

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 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 list, (3) conducting the due diligence review, and (4) obtaining additional documentation and verification, as applicable.

This Report has not been audited, nor is an independent private sector audit required for this Report.

Risk Mitigation and Due Diligence Improvement

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 list 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.


•	Continue to engage with direct suppliers and direct them to training resources in order to increase the survey response rate and improve response content.


•	Expand capabilities of the Core Team by including additional subject matter experts in geographic regions such as Europe, the Middle East and Africa.


•	Provide continuing education of the Core Team and stakeholders on their on-going responsibilities with respect to conflict minerals compliance and any legislative or organizational developments.


•	Encourage suppliers that provided company or division level information for 2015 to provide product level information for 2016 through ongoing communications with these suppliers.


•	Maintain a global 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.
