Ecolab is focused on reducing Green House Gas emissions within their own operations in line with the level of decarbonization required to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and is actively working with customers and suppliers on their climate change mitigation strategies by providing products, services and data to support these actions.
They are committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions within their own operations by 2050, enabling their suppliers to set similarly ambitious science-based carbon and water targets and addressing climate related impacts in their innovation process to help customers solve some of the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges.
Ecolab’s Science-Based Target, verified by the Science Based Target Initiative, commits them to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2018 baseline year. In line with this target, they have joined the UN Global Compact’s Business Ambition for 1.5̊ C and also pledged to operate using 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
Ecolab has also started implementing Renewable Energy in their manufacturing plants by using Solar Energy Panels and has set a yearly target reduction in Green House Gas emissions. They target to complete Renewable Energy implementation by the end of the year across their ten manufacturing plants in Southeast Asia.
With solutions that help customers achieve their ambitious business and environmental goals, measurement is a critical component of their process.
