Henkel Recognized by GreenCircle for Sustainability Efforts Through Two Certifications

STAMFORD, Conn., April 24, 2025 /3BL/ - Henkel is a leading manufacturer of well-known consumer and industrial brands, such as all® free clear laundry detergent, Dial® soap, Schwarzkopf® hair care, and Loctite®, Technomelt® and Bonderite® adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings. The company has recently achieved two significant sustainability certifications from GreenCircle, reflecting their ongoing commitment to drive sustainable transformation at manufacturing sites. This includes a Certified Environmental Facts certification, for carbon footprint reduction, and a Zero Waste to Landfill certification at its West Hazleton, PA manufacturing facility, where Dial® soaps are made.

The West Hazleton facility has achieved a 17% carbon footprint reduction through energy efficient manufacturing practices for a select range of Dial® soaps, earning Henkel the GreenCircle Certified Environmental Facts: Carbon Footprint Reduction verification. The recognition also means this group of Dial® soap products can now be found on Amazon with a Climate Pledge Friendly badge. In addition, the West Hazleton facility has achieved GreenCircle’s Zero Waste to Landfill certification. This means that zero waste is disposed directly to landfill.

"Achieving these important certifications from GreenCircle underscores our unwavering commitment to environment stewardship, including minimizing our carbon footprint and waste,” said Allison Feldman, Vice President, Dial, Marketing, Henkel Consumer Goods North America. “This certification provides our customers with clear, verifiable proof of Henkel's dedication to sustainability, empowering them to make informed, environmentally responsible choices."

GreenCircle is an internationally recognized third-party certification entity whose evaluation process provides independent assessment that sustainability claims related to an organization’s products and operations are honest, valid, and verified. GreenCircle Certified adheres to a high standard of accuracy and accountability for sustainability-related certifications.

"Henkel has successfully achieved GreenCircle’s Certified Environmental Facts and Zero Waste to Landfill certifications, demonstrating their strong commitment to sustainability," said Sara Risley, Certification Officer at GreenCircle Certified. "These certifications not only reflect their environmental leadership but also contributed to Henkel’s recognition by Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly initiative. We commend Henkel for their ongoing dedication to environmental responsibility, transparency with their customers, and their positive impact on the planet."
