Collective action amplifies sustainability impact The scale and complexity of resource scarcity require collaborative approaches across sectors – neatly summed up by Emilio as“ we can’ t do it alone”.
In order to bring businesses together, Ecolab plays a convening role in several major water initiatives.
It co-founded the Water Resilience Coalition in 2020. The organisation focuses on water-stressed basins, working with the UN to identify more than 100 such regions.
In 2023, Ecolab co-founded the California Water Resilience Initiative to accelerate collective action across sectors to achieve a water-resilient future for California.
And last year, the company joined corporate leaders including Microsoft, Starbucks and Gap Inc. to provide safe water and sanitation access to 15 million people globally, pumping more than US $ 100m into WaterEquity’ s Water & Climate Resilience Fund.
