Ecolab's supplier expectations are outlined in our Supplier Policies.
To promote responsible growth across different sectors, Ecolab encourages the use of diverse suppliers while ensuring that we receive the highest quality products and services at the most competitive prices.
Ecolab's Ethical Sourcing Standards represent a global supply chain initiative requiring our direct suppliers to protect the health, safety and human rights of their employees.
Ecolab’s core principles regarding economic growth, environmental stewardship, safety and social responsibility guide how we conduct business every day. We manage our global operations with care for the health, safety and prosperity of our employees, customers, communities and the environment.
The obligations from the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 for manufacturers, formulators and the final downstream users differ according to their role. Ecolab has an active program in place to interface with suppliers to collect information pertaining to REACH Regulation.
According to Article 33 of REACH, suppliers of articles to Ecolab (in the form of equipment, part or packaging) have the obligation to inform Ecolab of the presence of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in products and articles when the concentration is above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w). Suppliers are required to communicate actively in order to provide sufficient information to allow the safe use. The list of SVHC is updated twice a year and published by the European Chemical Agency:

Any substance categorized under REACH as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC), thus classified e.g. as CMR, PBT or vPvB and filed in the substance list of Annex XIV or in the related candidate list, is present (> 0.1% w/w) in products supplied to Ecolab please inform us via enclosed form sheet.
