At Henkel, sustainability isn’t just a goal – it’s a responsibility.

With nearly 150 years of innovation across home care, laundry, beauty and industrial adhesives like Loctite, OSI and GE, Henkel has always been focused on creating products that make life better while also reducing environmental impact. Today, Henkel is proud to partner with The Home Depot through its Eco Actions platform to inspire sustainable choices for consumers, Pros and communities alike.

The 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework

Henkel’s approach to sustainability is guided by its 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework, a long-term strategy focused on lowering emissions, driving circularity and increasing transparency. With a firm commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2045, Henkel is already making major strides.

Nearly 90% of the electricity Henkel purchases comes from renewable sources.
Its facility in Mentor, Ohio, is now certified as climate-neutral.
Across its global operations, Henkel is investing in advanced technologies to phase out fossil fuels and adopt cleaner thermal energy.

Smarter Use of Resources

Henkel is optimizing how it uses water and materials across its value chain. Whether in the manufacturing of adhesives or consumer goods, the company is focused on reducing waste and using natural resources more responsibly.

Closing the Loop with Circularity

One of Henkel’s most important sustainability priorities is circularity and rethinking how materials are used, reused and recycled.

- The company is using more renewable, carbon-based materials to help lower emissions.
- Smarter packaging is another key focus. Henkel is working to reduce virgin plastics in its consumer product packaging by 50% by 2025.

Beyond its own operations, Henkel is building industry partnerships that support a thriving circular economy.

Giving Back to Communities

Sustainability is not just about the planet – it’s also about people. Henkel partners with retailers, contractors and organizations to give back to the communities it serves. One standout initiative is the Loctite 2nd Chance House that was created in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. This project gives materials a second life and transforms condemned housing into livable homes.

A Shared Vision with The Home Depot

Together with The Home Depot, Henkel is helping to make sustainable living more accessible by offering solutions that help reduce environmental impact and support better choices for the home, job site and community.

From using post-consumer recycled materials to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Henkel is showing that business and sustainability can go hand in hand. Its collaboration with The Home Depot through the Eco Actions Partner Program demonstrates how impactful sustainability can be when Partners align on purpose.
