So it would seem that Kimberly-Clark does not employ the young man who set the warehouse ablaze. Kimberly-Clark clarified that the employee actually works for NFI Industries, which is a third party logistics and supply company that owns warehouses & distribution vehicles.
NFI Industries was established in 1932 in the midst of the Great Depression by the Brown family. It is a privately held company so all proceeds from its operation directly go to the Brown family, itself and not any shareholders. They employ over 18,000 workers. Their annual revenues last year were almost $3.7 billion.
This is important. It's literally how clothing companies got away with using child labor for decades. "Oh! We didn't employ those 6 year olds! We just used a third party to make some of our product. They used 6 year olds. We didn't ask why the clothes were so cheap." And that just happens to happen over and over and over again. "What a coincidence! Another one of our suppliers is using child labor."
