Henkel is convinced that sharing expertise in the context of public policy debates is important to best meet societal challenges and to ensure that the legitimate interests of its employees, business partners, consumers and shareholders are represented at all levels. We regard the dialogue with politicians, public and regulatory authorities, NGOs, associations and other interest groups as an opportunity for all stakeholders involved to reach the best results. Our worldwide “Representation of Interests in Public Affairs” standard provides clear guidance on conduct for this. We also openly provide information about our fields of interest and the scope of our work involving governmental or political affairs through our entry in the “Transparency Register of the European Union.”
