Resource Consumption

The index curve on the graphs shows the progress of the indicators relative to the volume of production (per metric ton of output). The base for the index curve is the year 2005 (= 100 percent).


Production Volume

In thousand metric tons

The production volume dropped in 2009 as a result of site closures and declining demand over the year in the industrial business.



Energy Consumption

In thousand megawatt hours

Bought-in energy is electricity, steam and district heating that is generated outside the sites.



Water Consumption

In thousand cubic meters

The values include all water, whether bought-in or extracted from Henkel’s own sources. Most of this water is process water. Because water is lost by evaporation and water is contained in many products, the volume of wastewater is smaller than the volume of water consumed.



Consumption of chlorinated hydrocarbons

In metric tons

Methylene chloride, which is used in Great Britain in paint strippers, accounts for most of Henkel’s consumption of chlorinated hydrocarbons.
