Henkel has achieved a groundbreaking sustainability milestone, with its Nairobi, Kenya manufacturing site now fully powered by 100% renewable electricity. This accomplishment marks a significant step forward for Henkel's sustainability efforts in the region, highlighting Kenya’s leadership in the transition to clean energy.

Marking a significant enhancement to its capabilities in E-Mobility, Henkel today announced the opening of its state-of-the-art Battery Test Center at the company’s headquarters in Düsseldorf. This cutting-edge facility is an essential addition to Henkel's Battery Engineering Center, which was first introduced in September 2023 with the launch of the Battery Application Center. With the opening of the Battery Test Center, Henkel is reinforcing its position as a leading design and innovation partner for automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers in the rapidly evolving E-Mobility sector.

Sustainable operations across the entire value chain: Henkel Adhesive Technologies’ polyurethane production at its Düsseldorf site has recently received the International Sustainability Carbon Certification ‏(ISCC) PLUS certification. Following in the footsteps of Drogenbos, Belgium, and Bopfingen, Germany, this is the adhesive manufacturer’s third European site to obtain ISCC PLUS certification for its polyurethane production. Henkel is thus fulfilling a growing customer requirement to use bio-based raw materials and therefore ensure product traceability which are important competitive advantages on the market.
