2030 Positive Impact

Prioritizing Safety Everywhere We Work Through Goal Zero

Our safety goal is always zero incidents, and this goal has no expiration date; safety is a commitment we reaffirm every day. Through our Goal Zero Mindset, we place great value on training and education, both at our own facilities and at customer locations. We assess risk before we start work, identify and address safety issues and remedy hazardous situations—at any Ecolab location and wherever we operate. Employees are trained to assess risk and empowered to stop work any time conditions are considered unsafe. And we aim to train and educate our associates to perform their work with care and safety each and every day.

Achieving a Net Positive Water Impact

Tackling Carbon Emissions

By decarbonizing our business and empowering customers to do the same, we are driving positive business performance while helping tackle the urgent challenge of climate change. Ecolab has near-term science-based targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. We have committed to achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050*. We are also working to reduce Ecolab’s Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2022 base year across a portion of purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and downstream leased assets.

Progressing Toward Net Positive Water Impact

Global water scarcity continues to require urgent action across the world. As a critical resource to all, responsible stewardship and use of water ties our commitment to our shareholders and communities tightly together. It is a business and social imperative that we grow fast, grow our impact and grow our teams as we work together to address the global water crisis. Our vision of a water-resilient future relies on tangible action. For Ecolab, that means continuing to drive water management with our customers, while also identifying opportunities to implement water stewardship projects in our own operations.
