During 2016, Ecolab Inc. continued its long-standing commitment
to supporting communities in need by providing more than 142 tons
of cleaning, sanitizing and public health products in support of
natural disaster relief efforts throughout the world.
“After a natural disaster, cleaning and sanitizing products are
needed to protect people and rebuild the community,” said Kris
Taylor, Ecolab vice president of Community Relations. “When a
natural disaster occurs, we direct our product resources to those
who need them most.”
Working in partnership with non-profit organizations, Ecolab
also donated nearly $1 million of cleaning, sanitizing and public
health products in 2016 in support of relief efforts after floods
in Louisiana, Texas and West Virginia, Hurricane Matthew in the
southeastern U.S., and to hospitals, orphanages, fire and emergency
response stations and emergency food relief centers in El Salvador,
Honduras, Liberia, Romania and Sierra Leone.
“For more than 18 years, World Emergency Relief has been proud
to work with Ecolab to provide cleaning, sanitizing and public
health products to those in need,” said Kristy Scott, CEO of World
Emergency Relief. “Ecolab’s consistent commitment to helping
communities during their most difficult times is remarkable.”
