The Best Project award from household appliance manufacturer B/S/H recognizes suppliers that contribute to its ambitious sustainability goals.
Henkel Adhesive Technologies has long been dedicated to enhancing processes in the metals industry and reducing its environmental impact. Volker Mansfeld, Vice President of Metals EIMEA at Henkel Adhesive Technologies, stated, “We are proud to receive recognition for our contributions to our customers’ process efficiency and sustainability. We see these awards as a motivation to keep improving our CO2 footprint and enabling our customers to become even more sustainable in the future.”
In line with its sustainability goals, Henkel aims to optimize its own footprint and achieve climate-positive operations by 2030. One example of this initiative is the CO2-neutral production implemented at Henkel’s Montornès, Spain production site.
The company’s product portfolio mirrors its sustainability commitment, offering a range of innovative and eco-friendly lubricants, cleaners, surface treatments, and coatings. These solutions help customers reduce water consumption, save energy, and decrease material usage, ultimately cutting down the CO2 emissions of their metal pretreatment processes.
Henkel Adhesive Technologies embodies its dedication to a greener metals industry through its framework “REspect REthink Reinvent”. This approach aims to create a more sustainable future through safer, cleaner, and more efficient processes. “Delivering the highest performance while conserving resources is at the heart of this continuous optimization approach,” says Mansfeld.
