Ecolab Science Certified is a comprehensive, science-based program designed to help keep your employees and customers safe and give them the confidence that your operations are committed to the highest cleaning and disinfecting practices.
Now more than ever, consumers are looking for visible commitments to clean and safe environments, evidence of hygiene best practices and independent audit verification.
Ecolab has helped make the world cleaner, safer and healthier in partnership with the world’s largest hospitality and foodservice brands. Now we’ve developed the Ecolab Science Certified seal, enabling hospitality and food service operators to demonstrate their commitment to advancing cleaner, safer practices by meeting the program’s rigorous criteria.
Businesses that implement the program requirements – including public health, food safety and pest elimination solutions and employee training – and pass the Ecolab Science Certified audit earn the ability to use the Ecolab Science Certified seal.

From our lab to the places we all eat, stay and shop, the Ecolab Science Certified Program combines comprehensive cleaning programs and procedures with rigorous training and an Ecolab Science Certified audit to advance cleaner, safer practices.
Backed by Ecolab’s deep scientific expertise and tailored to meet specific business needs, Ecolab Science Certified brings together the right programs, products, training and procedures from Ecolab’s nearly 100 years of fighting pathogens and foodborne illnesses and our deep understanding of micro-organisms and expertise in chemistry, dispensing and public health. The program can be scaled to deliver a consistent standard of cleaning and disinfecting across multiple customer locations globally.
The Ecolab Science Certified program includes:
The Ecolab Science Certified Program initially available in North America, then globally, is focused primarily on business chains and corporate customers.
In alignment with the CDC and best practices from other regulatory bodies, Ecolab has elevated our protocol and procedure recommendations to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in operations. The recommendations focus on additional disinfecting steps, increased frequency and duration, and expanding the scope for cleaning programs in the industries we serve.
Reducing risk in your operation requires a commitment to ensuring staff understand public health matters and proper procedures. Ecolab training specialists have designed an interactive curriculum with new courses specifically for the Ecolab Science Certified program centered on essential public health protocols, food safety, and housekeeping best practices, covering the most relevant topics including COVID-19 basics, social distancing, proper use of PPE, heightened sanitation, and how to approach guest interactions.
Using Lobster Ink's dynamic online training platform, Ecolab Science Certified customers can ensure fast onboarding, flexible learning, and detailed reporting for all employees, which is critical for businesses with high employee turnover.
The Ecolab Science Certified audit completes the process of program implementation and provides consumers the confidence that all applicable program elements are in place and employee training has been completed. This audit assesses Ecolab standards and validates the critical areas that impact food safety, public health and guest experience and helps location managers take corrective action to mitigate risks. This expert assessment can be completed onsite by an EcoSure field specialist, or virtually by a remote EcoSure field specialist, in partnership with the unit level manager.
