Ecolab Inc., a global sustainability leader offering water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services, announced it has received WAVE: Water Stewardship Verified verification for its leading water stewardship efforts at its facilities. The WAVE verification, which is a program that helps corporations accelerate their water stewardship performance and reporting, demonstrates that Ecolab has strategically prioritized water-related action where it matters most, leading to meaningful outcomes for its operations, customers, partners and local communities.
WAVE is an independently verified program established by The Water Council that helps organizations assess enterprise-wide water uses, impacts and risks. It provides a framework for participants to advance water stewardship initiatives that combine organizational goals with impactful site-level actions.
Ecolab recognizes the importance of water in protecting the environment, human health and economic development in local communities. With a robust water stewardship strategy in place for its facilities across its global operations, the company is making steady progress toward its ambition of achieving Net Positive Water Impact.
“Effective water stewardship at our operations remains central to Ecolab achieving a net positive water impact by 2030,” said Emilio Tenuta, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, at Ecolab. “This WAVE verification is a further testament to the incredible work of the Ecolab team to implement an enterprise-wide water stewardship strategy that complements our local actions.”
