Corporate Culture
Henkel operates in a wide variety of countries and cultures. Our corporate culture and our Vision and Values help unite our diverse workforce and provide standards for how we conduct our business.
From our Vision and our ten Corporate Values, we have formulated globally binding behavioral rules which are specified in a series of codes. In all business areas and cultures in which we operate, they provide guidance for the behavior and actions of our employees.
The Code of Conduct contains general corporate principles and behavioral rules and helps employees to respond correctly and appropriately when faced with ethical and legal issues. The Code of Teamwork and Leadership provides guidance for the conduct of managerial and non-managerial staff at all levels. The Code of Corporate Sustainability describes our principles and expectations of sustainable business practices and corporate social responsibility. It is given concrete form by Company-wide standards.
Our globally applicable codes and standards are backed up by integrated management systems and an organization structure with clearly defined responsibilities.
