Working Toward a Healthier World

We are dedicated to supporting partnerships and programs that fulfill?the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. While we support?several goals, our efforts are primarily devoted to Goal 6 — to ensure?the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation?for all — where we believe we can have the greatest impact.

Our technologies help customers save billions of gallons of water?each year. Our Water Risk Monetizer, a publicly available tool, helps?businesses determine the true value of water so they can make the?business case for water stewardship. Our Smart Water Navigator tool, which is also free and publicly available, helps customers assess where they are on a four-stage water maturity curve, so they can adopt smart and sustainable water management practices at the facility level.

Our partnerships are aligned with these goals. We have close?relationships with a range of NGOs, other organizations and?programs that support water stewardship and access to safe, clean?water, including the Alliance for Water Stewardship, Project WET, the?CEO Water Mandate, The Nature Conservancy and the Minnesota?Headwaters Fund.

Ecolab sponsored the China Urban Water Blueprint, a report from?The Nature Conservancy that analyzes the state of water resources?in China’s 30 largest and fastest growing cities and offers science-based recommendations for natural solutions. Ecolab’s funding also?supported The Nature Conservancy’s efforts to protect key lands and?waters in Minnesota, Shanghai, and Monterrey, Mexico.

We recognize the need to better understand the impacts of our?products and to document and clearly communicate these impacts?to key stakeholders. Through a range of programs and initiatives,?we continuously work to identify opportunities for improvement.
