After winning a 50,000 euros grant as an MIT Anniversary Project in 2013, a team of Henkel employees helped several unemployed Polish women get back on the job market.

Henkel’s Forscherwelt ‏(Researchers’ World) is a place where children can make big discoveries – with their natural curiosity, wanting to know how and why things work. Henkel set up this child-focused facility in Düsseldorf in 2011, in a dedicated laboratory with a floor space of about 300 square meters. In 2012, the program will also include one-week projects on sustainability.

The “Fritz Henkel Stiftung” foundation is working with the “Teach First Deutschland” educational initiative to increase educational equality.

Schwarzkopf Professional’s educational initiative “Shaping Futures” enables young people from SOS Children’s Villages to acquire basic training in hairdressing techniques.
