Thinking Like the Consumer: Kimberly-Clark Leverages Brand Insights to Elevate Compliance Programs

Great brands like Huggies, Kleenex, Scott, and Kotex take deep consumer insights and apply them to every aspect of a product’s design, packaging, and marketing. It’s a continuous cycle that repeats itself in order for these essential brands to stand out with consumers.

Recently, Kimberly-Clark and its global compliance team decided to borrow a few pages out of its brand playbooks and apply them to its core product – the Code of Conduct. Like most large companies, Kimberly-Clark maintains a significant number of policies, procedures, and instructions to guide daily business decisions for its 41,000 employees around the world.

Innovating For Engagement

The use of virtual reality technology offers some key opportunities to improve social risk management on projects. First, enabling indigenous communities to visualize the future state of a project can enhance the “informed consultation process” between project sponsors and communities. Second, it helps shift indigenous communities from observers to more active participants – technically and spiritually – in how the project will impact their long-term, sustainable development. Finally, it can be a mechanism to help new workers joining the project to more effectively understand how the construction can affect the socio-political, cultural and environmental context of the impacted indigenous communities.

Teaching Job Skills to Rural Alaskan Teens

Nome is one of the last signs of city life in Alaska before everything becomes rural. Alaska Natives have lived in remote communities throughout the Bering Straits region for at least 10,000 years, sustaining themselves with a subsistence lifestyle of Arctic and sub-Arctic animals and plants. But those same communities, with an average population of 425, lack the resources to train young Alaskans with the job and life skills they need to keep their communities strong.
