Improved Sustainability Ratings
Henkel Makes Progress in CDP and EcoVadis

Düsseldorf – 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.

As part of the CDP 2025 assessment, Henkel received an A rating in Climate for the first time. In the areas of Water Security and Forests, the company achieved a B rating in each case. CDP assesses companies worldwide based on their disclosure of climate- and environmental-related management practices.

Henkel also further improved its performance in the latest EcoVadis assessment. With a score of 84 points (up from 78 points in the previous year), the company was once again awarded the Gold Medal. This places Henkel among the top five percent of all companies assessed worldwide. EcoVadis evaluates corporate sustainability management across the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

Henkel is also among the leading companies in other sustainability ratings such as Morningstar Sustainalytics, ISS ESG and MSCI.

“Independent sustainability assessments are an important tool for us to create transparency for investors and customers, and to objectively measure and further develop our performance,” says Dr. Dorli Harms, Head of ESG Disclosures and Ratings at Henkel. “The current results show where we already deliver strong performance, and where we want to continue improving our activities.”
