Our Government Relations organization works with U.S. and foreign governments to advocate for policies supportive of our company's priorities and reflective of our global business footprint and social and environmental impact objectives. We aim to be a trusted resource of information for governments around the globe. In order to achieve our functional objectives, we advocate both directly as Kimberly-Clark and through trade and industry associations. We engage with key industry associations on initiatives such as the UN Global Climate Treaty on Plastics and policies focused on developing more sustainable products that reduce dependence on plastics, advance extended producer responsibility (EPR), flushability standards, and recycling requirements and guidelines. We have worked through industry associations to respond to climate impact reporting requirements. Social impact is an additional priority for our company, and we are proud of our partnerships with governments and communities that support our company's ability to produce safe, affordable, and high quality feminine and baby care products for women, girls, infants, and children—as well as a range of products that meet the essential needs of people at every age and stage in life. Kimberly-Clark does not have a Political Action Committee (PAC), however employees each have the right to participate personally in political processes and activities on their own time and expense.

As part of their oversight roles, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receive regular reports from management on these topics, our goals, and our progress toward achieving them. [...] Our Sustainability Steering Committee oversees our sustainability strategy and its deployment. Additionally, climate and sustainability-related initiatives are operationalized through our Sustainability function, which is led by our Chief Sustainability Officer. The function's team comprises global program leaders who work cross-functionally to coordinate the execution of programs supporting our climate, energy, environmental stewardship, fiber sourcing, water management, health and safety, human rights, and other sustainability efforts. This team collaborates with Kimberly-Clark's business unit and sector teams and conducts periodic reviews to assess team targets and align actions for each pillar of our 2030 sustainability ambitions, including GHG reduction and climate-related goals.
