On October 1, 2024, global adhesive manufacturer Henkel completed a transition to renewable electricity use across all its factory sites in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, including Nairobi, joining a growing list of global firms that have taken this path.
This shift by Henkel included on-site solar installations and external renewable sources such as hydroelectric and wind energy. For example, the solar installation at Henkel’s Nairobi factory currently provides about 95 percent of daily electricity needs on optimal days, while the remaining five percent runs on external renewable sources.
