Ecolab is committed to its DEI and CSR initiatives and implements both practices in our business. Ecolab equips its workforce through a DEI learning approach that aligns with our business strategy, culture, and DEI strategic priorities. Ecolab conducts a yearly needs assessment to evaluate Ecolab's current offering of DEI for its workforce. Ecolab developed a holistic DEI learning strategy by conducting a stakeholder workshop, developing learner personas, creating a DEI learning curriculum, and establishing learner governance. Ecolab hires indiscriminately and has since the start of our business and will continue to do so in the future.

Ecolab decreases our carbon footprint by improving the supply chain efficiency, including waste removal and recycling. Ecolab replaces any resource taken from Earth.

Transparency is key to our business, and B corporation will aid in this goal.
