Our focal areas are divided into two dimensions: “more value“ and “reduced footprint“.

We aim to increase the value we create in the areas of “social progress”, “safety and health” and “performance”.

In the areas “energy & climate”, “materials & waste” and “water & wastewater”, we aim to further reduce the resources we use and hence the ecological footprint of our operations and products.

Performance

Top quality and excellent performance are the basis for our economic success. We focus on developing products that provide ever better performance and convenience. We enhance our value proposition for customers and consumers by offering products that enable them to improve their own sustainability performance.

Safety and health

Through continuous efforts we strive to keep Henkel and its production sites a safe and healthy place to work. We market safe products that do not impact the health of consumers or the environment. We develop products that contribute to better hygiene and thus human health all over the world.

Social progress

As a local employer and business partner, we create jobs with fair working conditions and contribute to regional economic development. Our products are adapted to local consumer needs. We provide ongoing training for our employees and our customers, and value the diversity of our workforce.

Energy and climate

Our focus is on the efficient provision and utilization of energy to lower energy consumptionof our worldwide production and logistics activities and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. We strive to create energy-efficient products and technologies for our customers.

Materials and waste

We use resource-conserving production techniques and optimize the packaging of our products to lower material consumption and waste. We develop increasingly efficient formulations to reduce the amount of product needed during use and application.
