At the Annual General Meeting of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA on April 24, 2023, the shareholders approved all agenda items. A total of about 88 percent of the voting capital stock was represented. For the first time since April 2019, the Annual General Meeting was again held as an attendance event at the CCD-Stadthalle in Düsseldorf.

Henkel has signed an agreement on the sale of its business activities in Russia to a consortium of local financial investors. In April 2022, the company had announced the decision to exit from Russia.

Henkel optimizes the organizational structure of its Adhesive Technologies business in order to use scale and competence benefits even more efficiently, while at the same time ensuring close customer and market proximity. Going forward, the business unit will be set up with three business areas – Mobility & Electronics, Packaging & Consumer Goods and Craftsmen, Construction & Professional – and underlying nine strategic business units. The new organizational structure will be already reflected in the Quarterly Statement on the first quarter 2023, which will be published on May 4, 2023.
