Henkel’s Adhesive Technologies division operates eight manufacturing locations in the Middle East and Africa, including the Nairobi factory, which is now entirely powered by renewable energy.
This change represents a major milestone in Henkel’s commitment to lowering its worldwide carbon footprint as it attempts to eradicate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power usage, often known as Scope 2 emissions.
Nancy Mwathi, Plant Manager at Henkel’s Nairobi facility, expressed her pride in the advancement and emphasized how it will improve the nation’s climate stewardship.
According to Mwathi. “An important component of Henkel’s larger mission, this is a huge accomplishment for our team. 2024 saw the transformation of what started out as a project in 2021 into a revolutionary reality.” “We are having a significant local and global impact by aligning with Henkel’s 2030+ Sustainability Ambition Framework.”
Now, almost all of the electricity required to run the plant comes from renewable energy sources, according to Henkel.
The remaining 5% of daily power is produced from external renewable sources, with 95% of the power generated on ideal days from on-site solar arrays.
