Henkel Named 'Most Sustainable Brand'
At the first ever German Sustainability Congress, the award for Germany's "Most Sustainable Brand" went to Henkel, providing the company a major accolade for its activities in this field. "We are happy to receive this award, because we have been working on the sustainability topic for more than 130 years. Sustainability is part of our DNA," says Kasper Rorsted, Henkel's CEO. "We are strongly convinced that this topic is more important today than ever before. We see enormous potential for innovations that combine performance and quality with responsibility for people and the environment."
One of the main factors for Henkel's selection was that the company had begun very early on to address the challenges of sustainability, developing a comprehensive corporate social responsibility strategy. This has been systematically disseminated throughout the company and encompasses all stages of its value chain. There was also recognition for Henkel's deliberate and methodical approach in designating as its focal areas the fields of Energy and Climate, Water and Wastewater, Materials and Waste, Safety and Health and Social Progress.
