Henkel’s commitment to leadership in sustainability is deeply embedded in our values. Maintaining a balance between economic success, protection of the environment, and social responsibility has been fundamental to our corporate culture for decades. This approach applies to every business unit and function, and our around 53.000 employees all over the world have firmly embraced the principles of sustainable development in their daily work and think and act accordingly.
Strong commitment within the GCC branch of Henkel
Henkel in GCC is committed to giving back to the communities it operates in. With sustainability being at the core of the company’s strategy, Henkel has engaged in numerous efforts to encourage sustainability starting from educating kids at school and employees within the organization and extending it to the general public to encourage the adoption and use of best practices.
Some of the ongoing activities in the region are: Henkel Sustainability program for Schools and Henkel Sustainability program for Partners which aim at educating the decision makers of the future and reducing carbon footprint.
To maintain this lead in the future, we have developed a long-term sustainability strategy and set a straightforward yet ambitious goal for the year 2030: By this year, all Henkel products and processes should be three times as efficient as they are today.
This aim addresses one of the central challenges we will face in the future: decoupling growth from resource consumption. Instead, we want to create more value – for our customers and consumers, for the communities we operate in, and for our company – while reducing our environmental footprint at the same time. Achieving more with less – this is the idea at the heart of our sustainability strategy which guides all of our business processes and activities.
