At Ecolab, we believe the best teams are diverse and inclusive – and we are on a journey to create a workplace where every associate can grow and achieve their best. The business leaders who make up our Executive Diversity & Inclusion Council set the strategic framework to ensure progress through teamwork and commit to inspiring action. We are excited about the work we’re doing to define a path to our future. Ecolab is a place where you can grow your career, own your future and impact what matters.
Our focus on diversity, equity and inclusion reflects our longstanding values of working together with diverse perspectives to challenge ourselves, reach our goals and do what’s right. This is reflected in how we recruit, develop and promote our talented associates, in our commitment to creating respectful and inclusive workplaces and in how we do business with our customers and suppliers.
As a global leader, we believe we also have a responsibility to advance equity – both within our organization and in our communities where we live, work and raise our families. We are working to increase our focus on educating and equipping our teams globally, to build understanding, address inequity and bring our associates together in solidarity to listen, learn and grow together.
