Reporting Initiatives
Gathering new stimuli for the future and sharing its own experiences with others - this is what Henkel wishes to achieve by participating in international reporting initiatives:
| Organization | Activity | Year | Results |
| European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic) |
Definition of a common reporting framework for chemical companies and chemical industry federations | 1997 -1998 | Health, Safety, Environment Reporting Guidelines |
| World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) |
Development of a "Best-Practice-Toolbox" for Sustainability Report | 2000 -2002 | Project information |
| Pleon KohtesKlewes | International stakeholder survey on non-financial reporting | 2000 -2003 | Global Stakeholder Report 2003 |
| Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) |
Participation in the first pilot testing program, the "Measurement Working Group" and the GRI feedback process | 1999 -2006 | GRI-Guidelines |
Henkel evaluated the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in a pilot project as early as 1999. Since that time, Henkel has engaged in a continuous constructive and critical dialogue with the GRI to improve the quality of reporting and increase the practicability of the guidelines. Henkel channels the experience and knowledge gained in its dialogue with its stakeholders into the GRI workshops and feedback processes.
The results of this work are made available to the public. In doing so, Henkel seeks to contribute to efforts aimed at raising the level of voluntary reporting about environmental protection and social responsibility.
