At Henkel Adhesives, we drive progress toward a sustainable future.
As part of our 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework, we are actively working to create more value for our customers and society while reducing our environmental footprint, including our ambition to achieve climate-positive operations by 2030.
Our Focus Topics
Based on our deep understanding of the trends and challenges in the industries of our customers, we have identified three focus topics where we can drive the biggest impact with our solutions.
Climate
Decarbonizing our operations and raw materials and enabling emission reduction at our customers.
Circularity
Embedding circular practices in our own operations while enabling debonding and recyclability along the value chain.
Safety
Optimizing the chemical safety of our products and going beyond legal requirements.
Our Sustainability Ambition
To drive the impact on our focus areas, we lead by example and optimize our own footprint by using sustainable raw materials and driving continuous improvement in our operations. In Spain, we have achieved carbon neutrality in one of our adhesive manufacturing plants. Building on that, we lead through technology by providing innovative solutions that enable our customers to boost their contribution to sustainability. We do this supported by end-to-end transparency, reliable data, and consistent measurement.
