Social Commitment
Inspired by our founder Fritz Henkel and his family, social commitment has been a tradition throughout our history. It is firmly anchored in our corporate values and reflected in our daily activities. Henkel Smile provides the umbrella for the company�s corporate citizenship activities extending beyond direct business interests. We place special emphasis on promoting long term partnerships between Henkel and its brands and social institutions, with the aim of jointly addressing challenges.
This is based on the conviction that solutions which are jointly reached on a basis of partnership will benefit all concerned. To achieve enduring progress, we focus on helping people to help themselves. Employees and retirees are the impetus of Henkel�s worldwide corporate citizenship engagement. They are at the core of any Henkel Smile project, from selection, organization and management, to active participation.
Henkel Smile makes valuable contributions on several levels. The bonds between employees and retirees are strengthened by their shared commitment to volunteer work. Regions and communities benefit from these volunteer efforts, as Henkel employees and retirees address local challenges and provide targeted support where it is needed.
Worldwide, our projects make numerous contributions to achieving global development objectives, such as the United Nations� eight Millennium Development Goals, which are to be reached by the year 2015.
With Henkel Smile we have created an international harmonized communication platform for our global activities. Clear guidelines assist especially the regional implementation of Henkel Smile projects. We support activities in the areas of engagement: social needs, education and science, fitness and health, arts and culture, and environment. In 2007, the total sum provided to foster these activities was some 7.5 million euros.
Focus on the product life cycle
Sustainable development needs a systematic approach. To enable us to assume responsibility as comprehensively as possible, our experts analyze and evaluate our products �from the cradle to the grave,� with the aim of further improving safety and environmental compatibility in all phases of the product life cycle. Improvement measures should be applied, in particular, at the points where the consequences for the environment are especially relevant and improvements can be realized efficiently.
Contribution to Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Climate change is a complex environmental issue and one of the major challenges of our time. Within the context of its comprehensive commitment to sustainability, Henkel fully acknowledges the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global level. In the past ten years, we have already reduced energy consumption by 40 percent. Thanks to the savings in energy consumption, we have also been able to reduce the associated carbon dioxide emissions by 33 percent. On the basis of the progress achieved, we have defined the Company-wide targets to reduce energy consumption by another 15 percent per metric ton of output within the next five years
