Two decades ago, Henkel became one of the first companies in Germany to create a program dedicated to supporting its employees and retired workers in their voluntary engagement: the MIT initiative ‏(“Miteinander im Team”, German for “together as a team”). To mark this anniversary, a special donation of 50,000 euros is being made to a maternity in Nepal.

Henkel and ESCP Europe are expanding their cooperation in management training. Henkel’s open innovation platform Henkel^x as well as the training and further education provided by ESCP Europe in the field of digital business, provide the central point of connection in the new cooperation. As an industrial partner, Henkel will also be involved in the conception of the “Strategy and Digital Business” master program.

Henkel has demonstrated the power and efficiency of its car repair solutions at an extraordinary event. In collaboration with crashtest-service.com ‏(CTS) in Münster, Germany, the company presented its extensive portfolio of high-impact products to customers, representatives of public authorities, insurance companies and transport organizations. The highlight of the day was a live crash test, where a car windscreen was bonded with Teroson direct glazing adhesive and crashed just 30 minutes after the windscreen was fitted.

Henkel further globalizes its corporate venture capital activities by investing into the second investment fund of China Materialia LLC ‏(China Materialia), Shanghai. The investment, under the umbrella of Henkel Ventures, will enable the company’s Adhesive Technologies business unit to access the growing scene of advanced materials start-ups in China and adjacent Asian markets.
