Since Henkel’s founding nearly 150 years ago, we have been a company that is committed to do the right thing for our people, communities and partners. As pioneers at heart for the good of generations, we are fostering an environment where everyone has the tools to be successful.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
IN NORTH AMERICA
Nurturing a purposeful future for the next generations
Diversity and inclusion are deeply embedded in our company culture and fuel our progress and success. We believe diverse and inclusive teams enhance both business and culture by fostering dialogue, bringing different perspectives, and boosting creativity and innovation.
Ultimately, we are working to inspire a sense of belonging, so all employees are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. When we do this, we see positive outcomes for everyone.
OUR PEOPLE
The diversity of our employees, their backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and the appreciation of all their individual differences are the foundation for our competitive advantage.
Henkel creates a culture of belonging through the grassroot efforts of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that provide a sense of belonging, facilitate networking, enhance career development, volunteer in the community, and promote understanding among colleagues.
Our people collaborate to tackle challenges, find solutions and open new perspectives – allowing us to deliver products, services, and innovations that enrich and improve everyday life. Follow us each month as we put the spotlight on our Pioneers for Good at Henkel.
OUR COMMUNITIES
At Henkel, our legacy of care to reimagine and make life better – extends beyond our company into the communities where we live and work.
For over 25 years, our Make an Impact on Tomorrow (MIT) initiative has provided financial and in-kind donations, and paid time-off to support causes closest to employees’ hearts such as fighting food insecurity, serving health and housing needs, protecting our planet, and advancing inclusion and education.
Education is one of the most powerful tools when it comes to enabling positive change. To increase access to education, we have invested for decades in scholarship and internship programs to help students to pursue their education and career aspirations.
OUR PARTNERS
We are committed to making a lasting contribution to society and help people lead better lives. To support social initiatives in communities where we live and operate, we partner with non-profits that increase access to education, champion inclusion, and serve health and housing needs. A few examples include:
Mill River Collaborative is our education partner for Henkel Researchers’ World program to help fill an important need to make STEM education accessible to more elementary school-age children. The program engages youth with hands-on interactive experiments created to inspire curiosity in science.
Our göt2b line of haircare products partnered with Ditch the Label to raise awareness of cyber-bullying and help empower young people to be themselves.
Loctite® partnered with Habitat for Humanity to launch the Loctite 2nd Chance House mission transforming a condemned house into a loving home for a deserving family.
Together we will continue to nurture a purposeful future for the next generations.
