Henkel: Sustainability Report 2009 published
Strong sustainability performance
  • 25 percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions*
  • 26 percent lower energy consumption*
  • 37 percent lower water consumption*
  • 12 percent less waste*
At Henkel, sustainability is a core business  factor.  This  is  why 
Henkel  is today publishing its Sustainability Report 2009 
simultaneously with  its  Annual Report. The Sustainability Report 
provides an overview of  the  main  ecological and social 
developments in fiscal 2009.
Düsseldorf - "Sustainability is one of Henkel´s outstanding 
attributes - and  an important success factor," said  Kasper  
Rorsted,  Chairman  of  the  Management Board of Henkel at the press 
conference on fiscal  2009.  "Our  ambition  is  to combine  the  
best  possible  product  quality  with   effective   environmental 
protection and social responsibility." The 40-page  Sustainability  
Report  2009 reflects how firmly these principles are anchored 
throughout  the  entire  value chain -  in  purchasing  and  supplier
management,  production  and  logistics, sustainable brands and 
technologies just as much as in  employee  relations  and social 
engagement. Strong sustainability performance Henkel works 
continuously to make its  own  processes  as  energy-efficient  and 
resource-conserving as  possible.  To  do  this,  the  company  has  
set  itself ambitious targets for saving water, energy and waste, and
avoiding  occupational accidents. The 2005-2009 sustainability 
performance  figures  show  the  success achieved: For example, 
carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 25  percent,  water consumption
by 37 percent and the volume of waste by 12  percent  -  per  metric 
ton of output in each case. Over the same period,  the  number  of  
occupational accidents fell by 57 percent.
Sustainability: a task for all of the global team - not just the 
specialists At Henkel, sustainable development depends vitally on the
strong  commitment  of all employees. They are the people who 
establish the  basis  for  sustainability around the  world  -  for  
example  in  research  and  development,  purchasing, manufacturing, 
marketing, sales and distribution. Therefore,  Henkel  constantly 
invests in the training and continuing education of its staff. This 
is  how  the company ensures that its global team will be able to 
meet the challenges  ahead, working with its industrial and retail 
partners all over the world.
Every innovation contributes to sustainability Sustainability drives 
innovation. Henkel´s declared commitment is that  all  new brands and
technologies contribute to sustainable development in  at  least  one
of its focal areas: energy and climate;  water  and  wastewater;  
materials  and waste; health and safety; and social progress. Since  
2008,  these  focal  areas have been systematically anchored in the  
company-wide  standardized  innovation process. One  such  innovation
is  Purex  Complete  3-in-1  Laundry  Sheets,  an  ultra- concentrate
which combines detergent, softener and anti-static effect  into  one 
product. Other examples  include  Diadermine  skin  creams  which  
the  European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) awarded 
the  ECARF  Quality  Seal and the halogen-free Loctite line of 
adhesives for mobile electronic equipment.
Promoting sustainable consumption Henkel  strives  to  foster  
sustainable  consumption.  This  is   because   the ecological 
footprint of many consumer  goods  depends  not  only  on  production
factors but also, and to  a  very  large  extent,  on  their  
efficient  use  by consumers. Henkel´s brands and  technologies  are 
used  daily  in  millions  of households and industrial processes. 
They  enable  customers  and  consumers  to make more efficient use 
of valuable resources such as energy and  water.  Henkel also 
promotes this idea through targeted communication.
The Sustainability Report, wide-ranging information on Henkel´s 
sustainable  and socially responsible business practices, as well as 
all  rankings  and  ratings can be found on the Internet at 
www.henkel.com/sustainability.
