Again top position in Sustainalytics rating
Sustainalytics has repeatedly rated Henkel as a leader in the “Household and Personal Products” category.

Sustainalytics is specialized in analyzing the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of companies. The international rating agency also provides the data basis for the STOXX Global ESG Leaders Indices, in which Henkel was again confirmed as well.
Additional indices confirm Henkel’s sustainability performance
Henkel has been included in the Global Challenges Index provided by the Börse Hannover and the German rating agency Oekom Research since 2007. The index lists only the 50 best companies worldwide regarding seven global challenges, such as climate change, drinking water and biodiversity. Next to that, Henkel was again listed in the sustainability indices MSCI ACWI ESG Leaders and MSCI ACWI SRI (Socially Responsible Investments), which include companies with a strong risk and opportunity management regarding their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. In addition, the repeated inclusion in the Euronext Vigeo Eiris Sustainabillity Indices World 120, Europe 120 and Eurozone 120 as well as in the Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) Excellence Europe and Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) Excellence Global confirm Henkel’s sustainability performance.
