Celebrating Women

A Legacy Shaped by Women

Women have been an important part of Henkel’s story since the beginning. Their leadership, determination, and creativity have helped shape the company’s progress, from early pioneers who challenged expectations to today’s colleagues driving innovation across the business.

Across laboratories, production sites, offices, and leadership teams, women have contributed ideas that transformed products, strengthened partnerships, and helped Henkel grow into the global company it is today.

Today, women represent close to half of management positions at Henkel, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to building diverse leadership and creating opportunities for talent to grow.

In many ways, they reflect the roles women hold in society every day, not only as professionals and leaders, but also as mothers, daughters, and sisters whose influence extends far beyond the workplace

In the GCC, progress is increasingly visible. Across Henkel offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider region, women are contributing across functions, from marketing to supply chain, sales, and leadership roles—helping shape the company’s regional growth and strengthening Henkel’s presence across the region. Women at Henkel are continuing the company’s legacy by leading projects, shaping strategies, and supporting colleagues across teams, continuing to prove that diverse perspectives are essential to driving innovation and sustainable growth.

Celebrating International Women’s Day at Henkel GCC

Across Henkel, International Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognize the achievements of women and reflect on the importance of inclusion, support, and opportunity in the workplace.

Colleagues across Henkel are marking the occasion by recognizing the contributions of women across teams, sharing stories that highlight their impact, and creating moments to appreciate the role women play in shaping both our workplace and our communities.

Inspired by the theme #GiveToGain, this year’s celebration encourages colleagues to uplift one another through mentorship, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, reinforcing Henkel’s culture of support and inclusion.

Female leaders across the GCC also shared their reflections on empowering women and creating opportunities for future generations.
