Henkel continuously seeks a dialogue with all stakeholders. Key stakeholders include employees, shareholders, customers, consumers, suppliers, neighbors, government authorities, politicians, associations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), scientists, and the general public. One basic principle has always applied: we communicate openly and actively - even when we have made mistakes.
