Proud to Support Exponential Transformation
in South Africa
Real and lasting change is accelerated when social, economic, and environmental impact aligns.
At Ecolab, we are united by our purpose to make the world cleaner, safer and healthier – helping businesses succeed while protecting people and vital resources. This also means delivering exponential transformation impact in South Africa.
Whilst we have a long way to go, we are proud to support ongoing transformation efforts in South Africa which deliver real, meaningful, exponential positive change, beyond our commitment to following and upholding the best Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) practices and market standards.
