For more than 130 years, we at Henkel have been working toward achieving sustainable development. Henkel has always strived to create a balance between people, planet and profit. We take a long-term, entrepreneurial approach towards all elements of sustainability, aiming not just to comply with existing standards but also to set new ones. This commitment is reflected in one of our corporate values: We are committed to leadership in sustainability. We provide products, technologies and processes that meet the highest standards. We are committed to the safety and health of our employees, the protection of the environment and the quality of life in the communities in which we operate. This ambition applies to all of our company’s activities – throughout the entire value chain. Our Online-Sustainability Report 2010 covers the key ecological and social developments in past fiscal year.
