Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Building a More Diverse and Inclusive Workforce
Our culture of inclusion and belonging is focused on supporting and engaging our associates to reach their full potential. We seek to foster a culture of belonging that reflects our longstanding value of collaborating to include diverse perspectives that challenge ourselves to reach our goals and do what’s right.
Supporting a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Workforce with Opportunities for All
Supporting a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Workforce with Opportunities for All
Purposefully investing in a thriving culture that honors inclusion and belonging is essential to being a purpose-driven company. As such, we strive to advance our organization by:
- More closely reflecting the communities we serve by expanding applicant pools and talent pipelines to attract, develop and retain a diverse range of talent in management roles
- Providing individuals equal access to leadership opportunities irrespective of gender, ethnicity or background
- Fostering a culture of inclusivity and belonging through employee resource groups for employees of all backgrounds
- Investing in processes and systems that deliver transparency
As a component of our 2030 Impact, we aspire to increase management-level gender diversity to 35% and ethnic/racial diversity to 25%, as we seek to have equitable representation of the U.S. workforce at all levels for our industry.
Ecolab is committed to transparency and has chosen to publicly share our Employer Information Report (EEO-1) – a compliance survey mandated by U.S. federal statute and submitted to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
