Henkel has a longstanding track-record as a leader in sustainability and last year, the company accelerated efforts to achieve climate-positive operations by 2030 as part of its 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework. Specifically, the Adhesive Technologies business unit has translated this framework into its own Sustainability Ambition 2030 and aims to lead the rest of Henkel’s operations by example through implementing new technologies in existing sites and including sustainable technologies in the design phase of new plants.
Adhesive Technologies operates 124 sites around the globe, the vast majority of Henkel´s facilities. To execute its ambition, the business unit is investing in a variety of sustainability projects that focus on increasing the use of electricity generated from renewable sources, implementing technologies to generate thermal energy without fossil fuels, and increasing the circularity of water and production material usage.
