Ecolab’s continued leadership rankings reflect the company’s record of doing well by doing good
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ecolab Inc., a global sustainability leader offering water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services that protect people and the resources vital to life, today announced it has once again been recognized for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change and water security by global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its annual ‘A List’.
Having achieved an A rating for both climate change and water security, Ecolab is in the very top 1% of more than 23,000 companies assessed using data from CDP’s 2023 Climate Change and Water Security questionnaires.
This marks the fifth consecutive year of being recognized by CDP for water security and third consecutive year for climate.
“Ecolab grows both our business and impact on the world by doing the right things the right way,” said Christophe Beck, Chairman and CEO, Ecolab. “Our continued leadership on climate change and water security, as evidenced by our double ‘A’ ratings by CDP, goes to show how Ecolab’s more than 48,000 associates are fulfilling our mission to protect the world’s most vital resources, together with our customers.”
Fully TCFD aligned, CDP holds the largest environmental database in the world, and CDP scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions towards a zero carbon, sustainable and resilient economy. In 2023, more than 740 financial institutions with over US$136 trillion in assets asked companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP’s platform. A record-breaking 23,000 companies responded.
“Congratulations to all the companies on CDP’s A List, and those companies that started or accelerated their journey towards environmental transparency in 2023,” said Cherry Madera, CEO of CDP. “It is only by laying the groundwork of disclosure that companies can show they are serious about the vital part they play in securing a net-zero, nature-positive future.”
A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
