ECOLAB SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018 1
|
The world is at a crossroads. We see a
|
growing global sense of urgency about
|
challenges such as climate change, water
|
scarcity, food security and public health.
|
But we also have unprecedented means
|
at our disposal to meet these challenges.
|
Digital technology is delivering insights
|
that were previously unavailable and driving
|
demand for smart, sustainable solutions.
|
As the will to do better grows, so does
|
Ecolab’s ability to accelerate positive change
|
for our customers. We help companies in a
|
wide range of industries deliver clean water,
|
safe food, abundant energy and healthy
|
environments, sustainably.
|
Now is the time to make a difference.
|
Together, we drive the progress the
|
world needs.

VALUE. DELIVERED.
|
Value creation is the primary aim of any business.
|
At Ecolab, we deliver results, whether it’s operational
|
efficiency, quality, safety, or sustainability benefits such
|
as reduced water and energy usage or greenhouse gas
|
emissions. eROI is how we prove it.
|
eROI means exponential return on investment. It allows
|
our customers to track their progress and demonstrate
|
value beyond the bottom line—from increasing productivity
|
and performance to reducing operational costs and driving
|
efficiency while achieving sustainability goals and making
|
a positive impact in the world.
|
The real-life case studies in this report showcase how
|
Ecolab delivers these outcomes through technology,
|
insights, service and training. With value delivered today,
|
we can push for an even better tomorrow.
|
Ecolab is committed to partnerships and programs that
|
fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—in
|
particular, Goal 6, to ensure the availability and sustainable
|
management of water and sanitation for all. (See page 22
|
for more on this effort.)
