Awards and Recognition 2006- 2001

Henkel sites all around the world participate in progressive sustainable development initiatives. In many cases, Henkel's forward-looking actions are emulated by other local companies. When local, or even national environmental, business or government organizations honor these efforts with awards, we feel doubly proud of these achievements. They confirm the initiative displayed by our sites in many countries around the world, while the awards gained by committed employees lay the foundations for further improvements throughout Henkel.
