We believe that diverse and inclusive teams are high-performing teams – and we are committed to helping everyone at Ecolab unleash their own potential to innovate, create and drive growth.
When all members of our team feel heard, respected and empowered, we believe they can achieve great things. Creating opportunities for all our associates to thrive is fundamental to our approach to attracting, retaining and growing our talented workforce.
As a global leader, we believe we have a responsibility to advance equity – both within our organization and in our communities where we live, work and raise our families. Ecolab is working to increase our focus on educating and equipping our teams globally, to build understanding, address inequality and bring our associates together in solidarity to listen, learn and grow together.
“All people deserve a society where opportunity is shared, which will only happen when justice and education are shared. Coming together with purpose is a step in the right direction, and I am committed to working with my fellow business and community leaders to work for change and keep striving for justice in our communities everywhere.”
– Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
