THRIVING COMMUNITIES

We do everything we can to help people live better lives. Our social responsibility is to strengthen diversity and respect human rights. We offer our employees lifelong learning opportunities, and an attractive and healthy working environment. We advocate for social progress and access to education worldwide, and we provide assistance in emergency situations.

How we implement our sustainability strategy in each country or region is tailored to local law and cultural contexts.

Equity

We believe there is great strength in diversity, and that everybody deserves to feel valued. We are committed to respecting human rights across our own operations and supply chain. This begins with further developing our company’s culture and mindset.

Education

Education is a powerful driver of positive change. We invest in innovative programs that build knowledge, skills, and mindsets – supporting our employees, as well as our customers and communities.

Education programs

When it comes to implementing our sustainability strategy, it is our people who make the difference – through their dedication, skills and knowledge. Because of this, we want to foster our people’s commitment to sustainability. And we have expanded our existing training offers to include a holistic engagement program. The objective is to comprehensively equip our employees with the knowledge, skills and mindset that are central to Henkel’s role as a leader in sustainability. We also seek to engage and empower them to become actively involved in sustainability in their work environment and in their private lives.

In addition, we are committed to further expanding our community education programs. Forscherwelt or Researchers' World is Henkel’s contribution to scientific literacy.
