ST. PAUL, Minn. – Feb. 13, 2023 – In 2022, Ecolab Inc., the global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services, provided $83 million of relief in the form of product donations, cash grants and associate volunteerism.

In 2022, cash grants of more than $6 million were provided by Ecolab and the Ecolab Foundation to support the work of organizations that align with our focus areas of giving: youth and education, civic and community development, arts and culture, and environment and conservation. Nearly $5 million of the total funding supports organizations aligned to our ESG goals, providing resources and support to reduce risk factors for youth and others in need in our communities.  

In-Kind Product Donations
