The award recognizes Ecolab's outstanding
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and
leadership in fostering an inclusive corporate culture.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Executive Leadership Council
(ELC), the preeminent global membership organization for Black
CEOs, senior executives, corporate board directors, top-tier
entrepreneurs, and global thought leaders, is proud to announce
that Ecolab will be honored with the 2024 ELC Corporate Award
during The ELC Recognition Gala. The event will take place on
October 3, 2024, at the Marriott
Marquis in Washington, D.C.
The ELC Corporate Award celebrates companies with the highest
standards of partnership, collaboration, and commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ecolab has been recognized for
its extensive efforts in embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI) into every facet of its business, from attracting and
cultivating top talent to doing business with its customers and
suppliers.
"Ecolab's dedication to creating a workplace where diversity,
equity, and inclusion are not just values but daily practices, sets
a powerful example for the corporate world," said Michael C. Hyter, president and CEO of The
Executive Leadership Council. "Their commitment to fostering an
inclusive culture where everyone feels empowered to bring their
authentic selves to work has made a lasting impact within their
organization and beyond. The ELC is honored to acknowledge Ecolab's
leadership in driving sustainable DEI progress."
Ecolab operates with concern for the well-being of all people,
further aspiring to develop a workplace that more closely reflects
the communities it serves. This includes enhancing ongoing efforts
aimed at maintaining pay equity, expanding a diverse range of
applicant pools and talent pipelines and aiming to increase
management-level gender and ethnic/racial diversity to reflect the
local labor force by 2030.
The company has received numerous accolades for its efforts,
including being named a Top 50 Company for Diversity by Fair360
(formerly DiversityInc) and being named an "Equality 100 Award"
recipient on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index
for 11 consecutive years.
"For more than 100 years, the people of Ecolab have seen
opportunities where others have seen challenges," said Ecolab
Chairman and CEO Christophe
Beck. "The ELC has inspired us to create opportunities
for our Black talent and promote open dialogue with top leaders
across our organization. I hope Ecolab can provide an example for
other organizations that business success, innovation and growth
are linked to diversity, equity and inclusion."
The 2024 ELC Recognition Gala, themed "Unstoppable Together," is
the punctuating event that wraps up The ELC Gala Week, the
organization's premier annual event, celebrating the achievements
of Black executives and fostering the next generation of Black
leaders. Held over several days, the week includes a series of
high-profile events, including The ELC Recognition Gala, which
