After the disastrous earthquake in 2008 Henkel and its employees immediately responded by raising 150,000 euros in emergency aid. But the support did not stop there. In March 2009, 23 Henkel employees from different plants around China journeyed to Hanwang Elementary School in Meanzhu/Sichuan. The earthquake had caused the school buildings to collapse almost instantly, killing 228 students and 19 teachers. In addition to money and in-kind donations for the victims, the employees took active part in the arrangement of school lessons and handed over donations to the children.
