Meet the Leaders of Henkel Canada’s Earth Squad - Seite 2

Impactful Solutions in Canada

The Earth Squad researches solutions to support the community inside and outside Henkel. With a keen focus on education, they developed a fun and easy way to learn how to live more sustainably - called Sustainability Bingo. Instead of numbers, employees complete eco-friendly tasks to fill a Bingo card and earn prizes.

To further education efforts, the team onboards interns at Henkel on recycling practices so they in turn can educate others. "In Canada there are different methods of recycling based on your municipality. With employees commuting from different municipalities, up to 60 miles away; this program helps to ensure that we are compliant with the proper regulations," Kyrylo shares.

To help the local community, the Earth Squad has donated thousands of Henkel products to charitable organizations in Canada that support the basic food and health needs of area residents.

The team also takes their hands and hearts into the community by adopting a park in Mississauga, where they have hosted six clean-ups since 2022. The activity attracts Henkel employees from sectors and positions across the business. In fact, the cleanups have become such a staple in Mississauga that the town installed a sign that reads, "This park is adopted by Henkel Canada." The unveiling was such a special moment for the Earth Squad that they were joined by Rob Bertok, President Henkel Canada, Vice President NA General Manufacturing & Maintenance, and other members of the leadership team.

The continuous ingenuity and determination of the Earth Squad to build a strong, more sustainable, planet has led to significant accomplishments and continues to push Henkel's Purposeful Growth Agenda forward.

Being a pioneer for good means…

For Kyrylo, being a pioneer for good is fueled by the love he has for his family.

The Earth is a gift that you inherited, and it is your sole responsibility to hand it over as a gift to your children in an even better state than you inherited it.

Kyrylo Fedoruk, Senior Manager, Net Revenue Management

This belief makes it easy for him to implement daily sustainable practices like recycling, conserving water, and reducing waste.

SJ believes that everything is connected back to the idea of being a pioneer at heart for the good of generations. It is embedded in the culture at Henkel and is present from the beginning of everyone's career journey at the company.

Henkel encourages all of us to act as entrepreneurs, and when we look at sustainability, I think every individual must act as an entrepreneur for the planet. Until everyone takes ownership, I think we will struggle to forge a better future.

Sukhjot (SJ) Girgla, Director of Supply Chain for the Beauty Professional Business

Leading the Earth Squad has been a highlight in both Kyrylo and SJ's careers. In honor of their 3^rd anniversary on Earth Day 2024, they are challenging everyone to look introspectively, find what it takes to become an entrepreneur for the planet, and make a commitment to act.
