Ecolab, a US-based company in the "All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing" industry, is committed to ambitious climate action. In 2024, Ecolab reported total global emissions of approximately 8.07 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 270 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 71 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions reaching nearly 7.8 billion kg CO2e. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 was purchased goods and services, accounting for around 5.14 billion kg CO2e.

For 2023, Ecolab's total global emissions were approximately 7.39 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 329 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 79 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at about 6.98 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 8.20 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 302 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 68 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at about 7.90 billion kg CO2e.

Ecolab has established significant climate commitments, including a goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2018 base year. They are also working towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Furthermore, Ecolab has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from specific categories, including purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and downstream leased assets, by 25% by 2030, against a 2022 baseline. This company is also committed to increasing its active annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030, from a 2018 base of 12.9%. Ecolab's long-term vision includes a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, both from their respective base years.
