Henkel Corporation
Recycled Content
We aim to reduce the amount of virgin plastics from fossil sources in our consumer products by 50 percent. We will achieve this by increasing the proportion of recycled plastic to more than 30 percent, by reducing the plastic volume, and by increasingly using bio-based plastics.
Responsible Fiber Sourcing
We aim to use 100 percent recycled paper and cardboard material or, where necessary, fresh fiber originating from sustainable forestry, to contribute to zero net deforestation by 2020.
Bio-based / Renewable Materials
We aim to reduce the amount of virgin plastics from fossil sources in our consumer products by 50 percent. We will achieve this by increasing the proportion of recycled plastic to more than 30 percent, by reducing the plastic volume, and by increasingly using bio-based plastics.
Eliminate Unfavorable Materials
We want to remove and avoid polyvinyl chlorides (PVC) and other substances of potential concern.
Design For Recovery
By 2025,100 percent of Henkel’s packaging will be recyclable or reusable.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Our target is to make a 75-percent reduction in the carbon footprint of our production sites by 2030. We intend to achieve this by continuously improving our energy efficiency and by using electricity exclusively from renewable sources. We want to become climate-positive by 2040 by replacing the remaining fuels at our sites with CO2-free alternatives.
