Diversity & Inclusion

At Henkel, we promote a holistic Diversity & Inclusion approach . The diversity of our employees, their backgrounds, experiences, talents, knowledge, creativity and the appreciation of all their individual differences are the foundation for our competitive advantage. As a globally operating company, Henkel employs people from 120 nations in more than 75 countries. Almost 85 percent of our employees work outside Germany, and more than half of them in emerging markets. "Creating sustainable value” is our purpose that unites all of us at Henkel. We believe that a company culture focused on diversity and inclusion is the key driver of creativity, innovation and invention. Our ability to deliver excellent results is fueled by and dependent on our ability to embed Diversity & Inclusion in our corporate culture and the way we do business.

We have a strong commitment to bringing together the right mix in teams from across our global organization. These teams are to match our markets’ and clients’ needs in terms of knowledge, skills and cultural background. We are convinced that diverse teams stimulate innovation and new ways of problem solving; yet they need an inclusive culture and leadership to help them function at their best.
