Henkel awarded again for leadership in sustainability

Düsseldorf – For the eighth consecutive year, Henkel receives RobecoSAM’s Gold Class award and is included again in the 2015 Global Most Sustainable Corporations in the World Index (Global 100 Index). The accolades recognize and confirm Henkel’s continued leadership and consistent commitment to sustainability.

Henkel received the Gold Class award for its sustainability achievements in the Sustainability Yearbook 2015, which lists the world’s most sustainable companies in each industry as determined by RobecoSAM’s annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).

Companies named to the Global 100 index are the top overall sustainability performers in their respective industrial sectors, selected from 4,609 listed companies with a market capitalization greater than $2 billion.
