Our efforts to ensure a healthy and sustainable future include investments in people and nature. Protecting water and other natural resources. Educating the next generation of leaders. Championing hygiene throughout the world. These are just some of the ways that we are working to drive positive change — for a better tomorrow and a better world.
We are always looking for ways to improve the use of water resources within our operations and within the watersheds in which we operate. Our commitment extends to the solutions we deliver to our customers and to the partnerships we have formed to support responsible use of the world’s limited freshwater resources. This includes advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to protect the quality and sustainability of water resources worldwide.
We also seek to identify opportunities for our company and our customers to use water resources in a manner that benefits business, communities and nature. We understand the importance of the food-energy-water nexus and always consider the impact of water in our innovation process and in the products and services that we provide to help our customers implement their own water stewardship strategies.
The Water Risk Monetizer, built on Microsoft’s Azure cloud technology, was developed to advance corporate water management in an increasingly water-scarce world. By aggregating and analyzing billions of data points fed from Ecolab sensors in thousands of plants, we help industries worldwide address water scarcity, improve water quality and increase operational performance. We are proud to have been recognized for these efforts with a 2017 Sustainability Services Award from the Business Intelligence Group.
Ecolab has been a pioneer in water stewardship and we’re at the forefront of a digital transformation that is revolutionizing the way industry conducts business. It’s made us much smarter about how we manage water for our customers and in our own operations. We’ve made a great deal of progress in our water stewardship journey. But there is still much more to do to protect this precious and finite resource that is essential to human life.
We help our customers meet their business and sustainability goals through the work of our more than 26,500 field associates, our advanced digital technologies and “connected chemistries.”
While our greatest impact will always be through our work with customers, our ability to do more with less internally is also important to the long-term success of our company and the health of the environment.
