By moving forward, faster, together with customers, Ecolab is working to help build a positive future.

Ecolab Inc., a global sustainability leader offering water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services, today released its 2023 Growth & Impact Report, which documents the company’s performance on economic, environmental, social and governance topics and showcases the company’s progress toward its vision of creating 2030 Positive Impact.

For more than a century, Ecolab has harnessed innovative technology to achieve positive business performance and sustainability outcomes, driving profitable growth for customers and its own operations. Today, this commitment remains, as Ecolab continues to create a positive impact while enhancing profitability.

“Ecolab sees a future that is net positive, where businesses can grow both their bottom lines and their positive impact on the world,” said Christophe Beck, Chairman and CEO, Ecolab. “We delivered our best year yet in 2023, and our new Growth & Impact Report illustrates how collaborating with customers and partners is helping build a positive future.”

Ecolab integrates its commitment to people, planet and business health throughout its product and service offerings. By leveraging science-based solutions, data-driven insights and world-class service, the company enhances its own business while creating shared value and positive outcomes for customers.

In 2023, Ecolab worked with customers to help:

  • Conserve 226 billion gallons of water, equivalent to the drinking water needs of 782 million people;
  • Provide safe food to 1.4 billion people;
  • Clean 60 billion hands; and
  • Avoid 3.8 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

While Ecolab’s most significant impact is through its work with customers, the company also leads by example in its operations and communities.

  • Continuing Ecolab’s work as a founding member of the Water Resilience Coalition, which has grown from seven to 37 companies with a market capitalization of $4.8 trillion.
  • Launching the California Water Resilience Initiative, an ambitious collaborative effort to scale reduce, reuse and replenish projects in water-stressed California.
