In our ten corporate values, we declare our dedication to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. For us, each concept is a pre-condition for the other. Only a company that operates sustainably, organizing its activities on the foundation of long-term and future viability, is conducting itself socially responsibly. This includes the need to harmonize economic, ecological and social goals. For us, the decisive factor is how we generate our sales and profits, and that we always act responsibly throughout the value chain.

Henkel is convinced that effective environmental protection and social progress are the foundation of lasting economic success. At the same time, only economically successful companies will be able to contribute to effective environmental protection and social progress. One single ‘reconciliation’ of interest cannot achieve sustainable development or a sustainable society. Only continuous reassessment and an open dialogue will lead to long-term viable solutions for the Company, society and the environment.
