Advancing Water Stewardship
Water is essential to our operations, products and services. The sustainable management of water resources is fundamental to our business. It is also fundamental to helping us create a positive future for people, planet and business health.
Ecolab helps businesses around the world achieve ambitious sustainability goals by reducing freshwater use in critical processes. We also work tirelessly to minimize our own water footprint.
We believe in the importance of water in protecting the environment, human health and economic development in our local communities. Through partnerships and stewardship, we aim to identify and support opportunities for our company and customers to use water resources in ways that are socially and culturally equitable, economically beneficial and environmentally sustainable.

Ecolab has prioritized water stewardship projects at our sites with the aim of improving the overall health of the local watersheds. Our projects will use a three-pathway strategy to achieve a net-positive water impact by:
- Delivering outcomes through the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard
- Increasing water-use efficiency, reuse and recycling via Ecolab solutions and digital technologies
- Protecting local watersheds
Our Three-Pathway Strategy:
1. Delivering outcomes through the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) standard.
2. Increasing water-use efficiency, reuse and recycling on-site using Ecolab solutions and digital technologies.
3. Protecting the local watershed.
