Cycling into the new season 🚲
With the Bike-to-Henkel Day, Henkel officially kicked off the cycling season and once again demonstrated its strong commitment to sustainable mobility. 🌿
Colleagues at our HQ in Düsseldorf enjoyed a day fully dedicated to biking – from expert tips and test rides to bike check-ups, fresh smoothies, and exciting prizes.
A day that got everyone moving and made us want to hop on our bikes even more!
Running together for charity 🏃♀️🏃♂️
This spring, Henkel employees across Europe took part in running events in Germany, France, Spain, Serbia and Italy, coming together to move for a good cause.
From city streets to marathon routes, colleagues ran side by side to support charitable initiatives and make a positive impact in their local communities. Kilometers that matter - powered by teamwork and shared purpose. 💪
When repair becomes an experience. 🖼️
With the Museum of Second Chances, @loctiteaustralia turned repaired and upcycled everyday objects into a one-night-only exhibition in Melbourne, celebrating the creativity and emotional value of giving things a second life. More than 100 attendees explored mended objects and artistic items from the local community, alongside hands-on activities showing how repair can inspire both function and imagination.
The campaign has also been recognized with a Webby Award, highlighting the impact of creative ideas that connect product relevance with culture and community. 🏆
Carsten meets… Alex Morgan! ⚽
Our CEO, Carsten Knobel, recently welcomed @AlexMorgan13 , two-time World Champion, successful entrepreneur, and Henkel Brand Ambassador, to our Culver City site!
Together, they discussed the mindset behind top performances, navigating pressure in decisive moments, and the importance of resilience and determination.
With the Big Tournament coming to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico this summer, global attention is shifting to a region where soccer is growing faster than ever – and we’re proud to be part of this momentum through our partnership with @ussoccer .

Equality starts at home 🫧🧺
In the heart of Düsseldorf, the House of Persil opened its doors to shine light on what often goes unnoticed in everyday life: the unequal distribution of housework, especially when it comes to laundry. With its new purpose, “Equality starts at home,” @persil_de sets a clear statement for greater equality in daily life.
Through interactive and immersive spaces, visitors were invited to explore, participate, and reflect on shared responsibility. 💪

Future-ready packaging, from concept to scale. 📦
With the opening of our upgraded Packaging Competence Center in Düsseldorf, Henkel Adhesive Technologies is bringing advanced testing capabilities together under state-of-the-art production conditions.
The center enables customers and partners to develop, test, and validate adhesive and coating solutions in realistic industrial settings, supporting faster scale-up and industrial application.
Connected to the neighboring Inspiration Center Düsseldorf, it covers key steps of the packaging life cycle, from application testing and industrial validation to training and recyclability assessment.
Good start into fiscal 2026: Henkel’s group sales reached 5.0 bn euros in Q1 2026 and a good organic sales growth of 1.7 percent.
The increase was driven by both business units, each with positive volume and price developments.
