Ecolab Achieves 100% Renewable Electricity in Europe

Ecolab Inc. announced the company has achieved the successful sourcing of enough clean electricity to power 100% of its European operations.

According to a press release, the company credits the achievement to the completion of a windfarm project with the global renewable energy company, Low Carbon. In 2022, Ecolab and Low Carbon entered into an agreement to develop the Mörknässkogen windfarm, located near Vaasa, Finland. Now fully operational, the windfarm is capable of supplying 100% of the electricity used by Ecolab across all its European sites, including 15 major offices, 26 manufacturing facilities and seven research and development centers.

“We believe that truly sustainable companies deliver on both their financial and environmental goals,” said Christophe Beck, Ecolab chairman and CEO. “By achieving this milestone in Europe, we’ll be sourcing the renewable energy needed to power our operations and as we electrify our vehicle fleet. These efforts support our continued growth and ability to serve customers, all while moving us closer to our 2030 Impact Goals and a 100% positive future.”
