Kimberly Clark scored a 100 on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, Kimberly-Clark increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company covers transgender-related medical costs for its employees and their children and provides specific sexual orientation and gender identity-based benefits. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. Kimberly-Clark forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. The company is a corporate partner of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce. Kimberly-Clark supports LGBTQ Pride and its CEO is a member of the Business Roundtable. For these reasons, Kimberly-Clark receives a High Risk rating.
