Corporate Culture
Henkel operates in a wide variety of countries and cultures. Our corporate culture and our Vision and Values unites our diverse workforce and provide standards for how we conduct business.
From our Vision and our five Corporate Values, we created globally acceptable behavioral standards which provide guidance for our employees in all business areas and cultures that we operate in.
The Code of Conduct contains general corporate principles and behavioral rules to help employees cope with ethical and legal issues. The Code of Teamwork and Leadership provides guidance for the conduct of staff at all levels. And the Code of Corporate Sustainability explains our principles and expectations of sustainable business practices and corporate social responsibility.
Our globally applicable codes and standards are reinforced by integrated management systems and an organizational structure with clearly defined responsibilities.
