The proposed plan is part of Henkel’s ‘Global Solidarity Programme’ to fight together against the pandemic. The Global programme also includes financial donations along with the product donations.
“We want to show our appreciation to our front-liners’ dedication during this challenging time. The first phase of our campaign is ready to roll out in the next few days with deliveries of DAC and Persil products around the UAE, followed by the rest of the markets in the coming weeks,” remarked Ahmed Nasser, Corporate Vice President, Henkel Middle East Cluster, Laundry & Home Care.
