Henkel’s Supplier Diversity Program
Henkel purchases a variety of products and services. For every product or service we procure, the overall goal is the same–to obtain the highest quality products and services, at the best value for Henkel.

The Supplier Diversity Program has been established to provide the maximum opportunity for Women & Minority Owned Business Enterprises (WMBE) who are interested in doing business with Henkel.

We recognize that it might be difficult for a new supplier who is interested in doing business with us to know where and how to approach our Company. Henkel’s Supplier Diversity Team is committed to a formal Supplier Diversity Program and is dedicated to provide assistance to both the buyer and the seller.
 
The basic components of Henkel’s Supplier Diversity Program are:

• OPENNESS – actively seeking diverse suppliers through minority and business development organizations and participation in various trade show activities
• CERTIFICATION – verification of status through screening processes
• QUALIFICATION – review and input of selected business criteria and referral to appropriate Procurement Professional for consideration
• UTILIZATION – activities in the purchasing processes, such as routine purchases, requests for proposals and contracts and other forms of purchase

Henkel's Supplier Diversity team is your advocate for doing business with Henkel. Our objective is to match your company to the appropriate Procurement Professional. In addition, the team works externally with Women & Minority Owned Business Enterprises development organizations and other groups chartered to assist diverse suppliers.
