We support programs and initiatives that protect people and nature in the communities in which we live and work.
Ecolab CEO Christophe Beck shares a message after the Derek Chauvin verdict.
Following the death of George Floyd in our headquarters community of Saint Paul, MN in 2020, we pledged to provide more frequent opportunities for real conversations about race and to build a more inclusive culture across all our non-majority employee groups. Stemming from this commitment, we held two Day of Understanding events focused on race and gender.
In August 2020, we held our first Day of Understanding event to facilitate dialogue about racism against Black and African American people in the U.S. More than 4,500 associates attended a town hall and 1,800 participated in small group breakout sessions led by senior business leaders. And in January 2021, we continued the conversation with a focus on women at work, gender equality, allyship and inclusion drawing over 8,500 participants to a town hall and more than 3,500 to breakout sessions.
And, to help associates have ongoing conversations, build trust and be better allies to those who face discrimination, over one quarter of our global workforce has completed an online Allyship in Action training course.
