Social Engagement – Corporate Citizenship
Social engagement – or corporate citizenship – has always been an integral part of our sense of responsibility as a company. This is a tradition that dates back to our founder, Fritz Henkel, and is firmly embedded in our corporate values. Together with employees and retirees, customers, consumers and non-profit organizations, we are involved all over the world. We have structured our activities around three core elements: supporting employee volunteering (MIT Initiative); corporate and brand engagement for the common good; and emergency aid. Our donations in 2012 totaled 7.3 million euros. In more than 2,300 social projects we supported more than 1,000,000 people.
