ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab Inc. published its 2010 Sustainability Report, which describes
the company's goals, progress and outcomes in three key areas of
sustainability: economic progress, environmental stewardship and social
responsibility.
"Sustainability is central to our purpose to make the world a cleaner,
safer, healthier place," said Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Ecolab. "In 2010, our seventh year of
sustainability reporting, we made significant progress toward our goals.
We are committed to ongoing improvement, both within our own operations
and in partnership with our customers."
The 2010 Sustainability Report includes:
-
A sustainability progress chart that summarizes Ecolab's
sustainability goals and accomplishments — and lists additional goals
for 2011.
-
Ecolab's contributions of $9.1 million to communities in need and
charitable organizations — in St. Paul and worldwide — through
Foundation, in-kind and corporate giving.
-
An expanded section focused on Ecolab's partnerships with customers.

sustainability impact is realized through its work to help customers
optimize their water and energy use, and reduce waste.

ambitious sustainability goals," said Baker. "Our people are inspired by
the impact they are having both within our company and through
partnerships with our customers at more than one million locations that
