ST. PAUL, MINN.—Ecolab Inc., a global sustainability leader offering water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services that protect people and the resources vital to life, has earned a top spot on CDP’s respected annual A List for its continued leadership in corporate transparency and performance on water and climate. This marks the seventh consecutive year of being recognized by CDP for water leadership and the fifth consecutive year for climate leadership.
CDP, a global environmental nonprofit, operates the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system and assesses thousands of companies each year. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were evaluated. Achieving a double ‘A’ rating places Ecolab among the top 4 percent of companies scored, demonstrating comprehensive disclosure and meaningful progress toward environmental resilience.
“High performance creates value—and transparency reinforces both. Achieving double ‘A’ recognition from CDP for water and climate shows how Ecolab grows our business and delivers results the right way while having a positive impact,” said Christophe Beck, Chairman and CEO, Ecolab. “By partnering with customers, we are strengthening performance today while building resilience and fueling long-term growth.”
A Rigorous & Independent Methodology
CDP’s scoring draws on a rigorous and independent methodology, aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. It evaluates companies’ depth of reporting, understanding of environmental risks, and evidence of best practice—including ambitious target-setting and verified action. In 2025, 640 investors with $127 trillion in assets asked CDP to collect data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities, underscoring the growing demand for transparency and accountability that drives meaningful progress across global markets.
“Congratulations to all companies on CDP’s A List. Businesses earning an ‘A’ score are proving that environmental ambition and commercial strength go hand in hand,” said Sherry Madera, CEO, CDP. “High-quality data gives leaders the confidence to make earth-positive decisions that secure long-term competitiveness, attract capital and safeguard natural systems. These organizations show what is possible when transparency becomes the foundation for action.”
