As expressed in both its Code of Conduct and its Code of Teamwork and Leadership, Henkel is dedicated to diversity and inclusion and is keen to harness the benefits of such an approach for the good of the company. Alongside corporate guidelines that define the framework for all measures implemented in this field worldwide, Henkel has developed a Diversity Cockpit that monitors developments in internationality, gender and age in Henkel’s global structure. Henkel also signed Germany’s “Charta der Vielfalt” (Diversity Charter) in 2007, as a public expression of its commitment in this domain.
