🚨 WD-40 (Henkel) Boycott Reasons and Overview

WD-40 is a registered brand operating under the global consumer goods and chemicals conglomerate Henkel. The inclusion of WD-40 on boycott lists is directly tied to parent company Henkel's strategic, financial, and operational ties with israel:

• israel Innovation Authority (IIA) Partnerships & Tech Investments: Henkel maintains official R&D agreements with the israel Innovation Authority and has directly invested venture capital into israeli technology startups, such as nanomaterials developer Feelit Technologies.
• Direct Operations via Henkel Soad Ltd.: Henkel conducts extensive commercial operations in israel through its wholly owned subsidiary Henkel Soad Ltd., distributing laundry, home care, beauty, and industrial adhesives across the country.
• Corporate Solidarity Statements: Following October 2023, Henkel CEO Carsten Knobel publicly affirmed corporate solidarity with israel, reinforcing ongoing commercial commitments.
• Corporate Double Standards: While Henkel fully exited the Russian market citing ethical governance, it continues regular business and technological integration in israel despite severe international human rights concerns.

Revenues generated from WD-40 directly contribute to Henkel's consolidated financial balance sheet. For full documentation and corporate ownership breakdown, please visit the 👉 Henkel Boycott Dossier.
