Global challenges need global solutions – this is why nearly 30 companies from the plastics and consumer goods value chain today launched the new “Alliance to End Plastic Waste” ‏(AEPW). The Alliance will develop and bring to scale solutions that will minimize and manage plastic waste. It will also promote solutions for used plastics by helping to enable a circular economy. Building on its existing efforts for sustainability and its commitment for a circular economy, Henkel joined the Alliance as one of the founding members.

Supporting Henkel’s progress in sustainability, the company closed the investment into Circularity European Growth Fund I LP, an impact fund managed by Circularity Capital. With the investment of 5 million pounds, Henkel is taking another step in expanding the company’s venture capital activities while further promoting a circular economy.

For the first time, Schwarzkopf honored four winners of the Million Chances Award on November 7, 2018 in Düsseldorf. The winners are the “Desert Flower Foundation”, founded by human rights activist Waris Dirie, the initiative “Girls' Day” and the association “Social Business Women”. The winner of the public voting is the association "Frauen in Bewegung". The emotional videos are now publicly available.

Through this relationship, the #AcademyofHair will significantly reduce waste through proper recycling and repurposing methods.
