Henkel has further improved its performance in two internationally recognized sustainability assessments. In the latest evaluations by CDP and EcoVadis, the company once again made progress and strengthened its position among leading sustainably operating companies.

Henkel is launching Bonderite C-AD 20202, a new low-temperature surfactant for industrial dip degreasing that cleans reliably at temperatures as low as 35 to 40 degrees Celsius. Compared to conventional processes, which usually operate at 60 to 65 degrees, the process temperature can be reduced by up to 35 degrees. With significant savings in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, the product combines cost efficiency with sustainability without compromising cleaning performance.

• Henkel is presenting the “Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Women in Science” for the fourth time
• Award winners receive prize money and an offer of exclusive scientific exchange and support of their research from Henkel experts

At LOPEC 2026, Henkel will present its latest developments in functional materials and conductive ink technologies tailored for printed electronics applications. As a leading supplier to the printed electronics industry, the company will highlight how advanced material formulations enable scalable, real-world applications across smart surfaces, smart healthcare, and smart connectivity.

Henkel Adhesive Technologies has entered into a strategic collaboration with Swedish chemical company Sekab to accelerate the transition from fossil-based to bio-based raw materials in adhesive production. The partnership focuses on replacing conventional ethyl acetate with a sustainable, bio-based alternative, supporting Henkel’s ambition to lead with innovation and sustainability in advanced industrial adhesive solutions.

Henkel, a global leader for adhesives, sealants and coatings, and Wetherby Laroc, a UK-based manufacturer of high-performance building products and facade systems, today have announced to enter a strategic partnership in form of a joint venture. As part of this partnership, Henkel has signed an agreement to become majority shareholder of Wetherby Laroc. The joint venture will enable both companies to grow their core businesses by combining Wetherby Laroc’s strong local brands and market presence with Henkel’s global innovation and technology capabilities.
