Henkel carbon footprint by at least 20 percent.“ We document product carbon footprint through an internal system, the Henkel Environmental Assessment Reporting Tool( HEART),” Mark reveals.“ This tracks what products have gone to our customers and provides them with updated figures as they improve. It’ s not good enough to simply do something; you must have the systems in place to document it so that customers can use this information in their own reporting.”
From sustainability and research into raw materials to launching Inspiration Centers, it’ s clear that Henkel prioritizes long-term investments, thinking about strategic decisions in terms of decades rather than delivering quarterly results. Ask Mark about its 150-year heritage, and his approach aligns:“ With an anchor family shareholder, Henkel has always made decisions for generations, not years, but the company is balanced by the discipline of a stock-market listing.”
To mark the milestone of 150 years in business, Henkel is hosting open days at various sites around the globe, as well as a two-day celebration at the Düsseldorf headquarters on the exact birthday, September 26. Beyond celebrations, Mark’ s vision for the future is centered on organic growth, a healthy balance sheet, and company-wide accountability.“ We’ re focused on gratitude for our colleagues and customers who have got us this far, and we’ re looking forward to the challenge of being successful for the next 150 years.” ■
