Vision
Diminishing access to clean water is one of the most serious risks facing the world today. And water is integral to many of our customers’ key processes – including cleaning and sanitizing, food processing, boiler and cooling water treatment, influent and wastewater treatment, and oil and gas extraction and processing. That’s why we’re working to help our customers manage water use – and improve water availability for people around the world.
The demand for fresh water is expected to surpass supply by 40 percent within the next two decades – placing urgent pressure on businesses to rethink the way water is managed, for their own good and for the good of their customers and communities. To address these challenges, businesses around the world are setting ambitious water goals; Ecolab helps them achieve those goals.
Ecolab helps customers do more, using less water – improving the heating and cooling, industrial processing, wastewater treatment, and cleaning and sanitizing processes.
Ecolab employs innovative technologies, real-time data and monitoring, water management software tools, services and chemistries to help customers use less water, re-use and recycle water, manage water to increase operational efficiency and reduce cost of operation, treat water to meet environmental discharge standards, treat for health and safety and protect and extend asset life.
Safe Food
Food safety is critical to the reputations of businesses that manufacture, sell or serve foods and beverages – and to the health and well-being of people everywhere. We know the top causes of foodborne illness outbreaks can be eliminated through effective cleaning and sanitizing – and we are committed to ensuring safe food by providing effective products, programs and services that protect people and businesses from the risks of illness-causing pathogens.
Abundant Energy
Around the world, the demand for energy is growing – and meeting the demand is becoming more difficult. With innovative programs and technologies, we help energy companies extract more energy with fewer resources. And we help all of our customers use less energy – and reduce their environmental footprints – by identifying and treating process-related problems and providing them with products that minimize energy use.
Healthy Environments
Clean, safe, healthy environments are essential to the health of workers, guests and suppliers – and the reputations of businesses everywhere. That’s why we provide innovative cleaning, laundry and warewashing solutions for restaurants, hotels, schools and many other settings. And in healthcare facilities – where clean environments are critical – our solutions help reduce HAIs and improve patient safety.
