Funded through the Ecolab Foundation, Solutions for Life enhances our mission to conserve water and improve hygiene around the world through collaborations with NGOs, global philanthropy and employee volunteerism. Through Solutions for Life, Ecolab has supported the work of several global nonprofit partners, including The Nature Conservancy, Water.org and the Project WET Foundation.
Ecolab continues to support The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to help secure and restore water sources around the globe.
This gift is helping:
Reach the ten-year goal to protect 100,000 acres and restore 100,000 more acres, impacting 1.4 million people.
Restore wetlands and floodplains that treat thousands of acres in tributary rivers that flow into the Mississippi River.
Provide general operating support to TNC in Minnesota for conservation and restoration of watersheds, forests, and prairies.
Ecolab supported Water.org with an unrestricted gift to help Water.org reach 100,000 people with improved access to water or sanitation contributing an estimated volumetric water benefit of 292M liters (~77M Gals) per year.
Our partnership with Water.org is an example of how we are taking action to help build community and economic resilience and equitable access to freshwater. These efforts are in alignment with our commitment to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, which calls for access to water and sanitation for all by 2030, as part of our 2030 Impact Goals.
Through our partnership with the Project WET Foundation (Water Education Today), children from around the globe can learn about water conservation and hygiene through The Clean and Conserve Education Program.
In 2021, Ecolab helped fund a landmark water conservation project with the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) and the state of Arizona, one of the largest multi-sector collaborative drought response efforts ever achieved. Facilitated by Business for Water Stewardship, a program of the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, funding support helps secure 150,000 acre-feet of conservation (nearly 49 billion gallons of water) to help shore up Lake Mead through the CRIT system conservation project.
