圣保罗，明尼苏达。--（《美国商业资讯》）-- The world is entering a period of historic growth, complexity and opportunity. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and demand for energy, food and water accelerates, how companies grow next will matter as much as how fast they grow.

In a rapidly changing world, Ecolab remains constant. Today, the company released its 2025 Growth & Impact Report highlighting how Ecolab continues to deliver strong business performance while deepening its impact on customers and communities in the areas that matter most.

Technologies like AI promise extraordinary progress, but they cannot scale without mastering water.

"Water is the foundation of life and business. We cannot create more water, but we can reimagine how we use it," said Christophe Beck, Chairman, President and CEO, Ecolab. "Companies that act decisively, apply proven solutions and work in partnership will lead the next era of growth."

In 2025, Ecolab partnered with customers across more than 40 industries and 170 countries to deliver performance and growth while protecting vital resources around the world. Together, Ecolab helped customers:

• Conserve the annual drinking water needs of more than849 million people, equivalent to 245 billion gallons of water
• Safeguard 7.7 million people from pollution-induced illnesses by avoiding 4.7 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions
• Protect 1.7 billion people from foodborne illnesses and infections
• Realize $12.9 billion in cumulative valueⁱ using Ecolab solutions and services

That performance translated into real-world results, reinforcing how performance and impact fuel each other. While Ecolab's greatest impact is delivered through its customers, the company applies the same discipline across its operations and communities:

• High-performing teams: Delivered record sales, earnings per share, operating income margin and cash flows, fueled by a culture of safety, inclusion and performance.
• World-class operations: Reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 44% from a 2018 base year, powered 92% of operations with renewable electricity and improved water use efficiency by 36%.
• Global water leadership: Advanced basin-level action as a co-founder of the United Nations Water Resilience Coalition, expanded Alliance for Water Stewardship certification to 16 Ecolab facilities and partnered with Water.org to expand global access to safe water and sanitation.
• Breakthrough digital innovation: Accelerated water, digital and AI solutions, including the Water Use Efficiency Index with CDP and Ecolab^® Water Navigator IQ™.
• Positive community impact: Invested $24.2 million globally through the Ecolab Foundation to strengthen communities where Ecolab operates.

Ecolab is built for this moment. By delivering strong performance while addressing the world’s most pressing resource challenges, the company is helping lead the next era of growth the right way.
