Henkel celebrated its 142nd anniversary.
In North America, Henkel continues to grow as the company launches new products, creates high-impact solutions for top corporations and achieves significant milestones toward its 2030 sustainability goals.
“The success of Henkel truly relies on the strength of our employees,” said Jerry Perkins, president, Henkel North America. “[‘Henkel Day’] is a day for us all to recognize each other for our contributions and the important role we play in our continued growth.”
This year, Henkel acquired Canada-based retailer brand manufacturer JemPak Corporation. Henkel also welcomed employees from leading hair professional brands Joico and Zotos Professional following the acquisition of Zotos International Inc.
Over the last year, Henkel also expanded its facilities from coast to coast, including opening its new Beauty Care Hair Professional Headquarters and #theAcademyofHair in Culver City, CA, as well as opening its new state-of-the-art Research and Development facilities in Stamford and Trumbull, CT.
The company set ambitious sustainability goals. By 2030, the company goal is to triple the value created for the footprint made by its operations, products and services. Henkel recently launched its sustainable packaging initiative, in which the company aims to have 100 percent of its packaging be recyclable, reusable or compostable, and for 35 percent recycled plastic to be used for its consumer goods products in Europe, in the year 2025.
In North America, Henkel has partnered with the How2Recycle label program to encourage consumer recycling. As part of this partnership, a selection of Henkel's Laundry & Home Care products – including Soft Scrub and Purex Crystals – will feature the How2Recycle label on their packaging at major retailers across the United States, including Walmart. The company's Adhesive Technologies business unit is also featuring this label on paperboard cartons used for its Technomelt brand of industrial products.
In addition to its sustainability initiatives, Henkel has deeply enhanced its corporate social responsibility efforts in the communities in which it operates, reaching more than 95,000 beneficiaries in the U.S. and beyond through programs including Henkel’s “Make an Impact on Tomorrow” initiative and social partnerships. Henkel’s product donations, which include its annual participation in the Today Show Toy Drive amount to donations in excess of $3 million in Beauty and Laundry care products.
In the spirit of Henkel Day, Henkel said it will be giving a donation in support of equal opportunity education-focused organizations, including Teach For America and WE.org.
