Henkel Adhesive Technologies has achieved a significant milestone in its sustainability efforts, with all of its manufacturing sites in the Middle East and Africa region now operating on 100% renewable electricity. This accomplishment involves the use of on-site solar installations and external renewable energy sources, including hydroelectric and wind power.
The company’s eight manufacturing sites in six countries have transitioned to renewable electricity sources, eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from their electricity usage. This shift has resulted in the reduction of approximately 10,471 tons of CO2 emissions per year, equivalent to the carbon footprint of around 2,500 gasoline-powered cars driven for one year or 2,700 flights from New York to Singapore.
Henkel’s sustainability efforts are in line with its 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework, which aims to achieve climate-positive operations by 2030 and a net-zero pathway. The company’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its “Purposeful Growth” strategy, which prioritizes creating value for stakeholders, responsible business development, and reinforcing Henkel’s leading role in sustainability.
In this achievement, Henkel’s team in the Middle East and Africa has demonstrated its commitment to driving environmental change and creating a more sustainable future.
