Social engagement – or corporate citizenship – has always been an integral part of our sense of responsibility as a company. Our donations in 2012 totaled some 7.3 million euros.

| The number of projects lies at about the same level as the previous year. A more focused selection of projects resulted in an increase in the number of people supported. However, the number of days off from work remained at the same level as the year before. Generally speaking, employees may request as many as five days off from work per year. | ||||||

By joining the Global Compact of the United Nations in 2003, Henkel made a commitment to help achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Through its social engagement, Henkel contributes directly to the attainment of these goals. Henkel does not influence the type of projects proposed under the employee engagement program. Nevertheless, the majority of these projects do indeed contribute to achieving these goals. www.un.org/millenniumgoals |
