- ACI Member Recognized at 2025 Annual Meeting & Industry Convention
Ecolab Inc., a global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services, is the recipient of the American Cleaning Institute’s (ACI) 2025 Sustainability Spotlight Award. Ecolab’s ReadyDose™ tablet-based cleaning program drastically reduces plastic and cardboard waste, saves energy and water, reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and supports worker safety.
This effort, along with Ecolab’s robust sustainability program, embodies the exceptional leadership and creativity this award seeks to celebrate. Their achievements serve not only as a testament to their dedication but also as an inspiration within the industry to strive towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
“Being recognized by the American Cleaning Institute with the inaugural Sustainability Spotlight Award is a testament to Ecolab’s commitment to sustainable innovation,” said Dr. Larry Berger, Executive Vice President & Chief Technical Officer. “Our new ReadyDose™ program, which offers a concentrated, more sustainable approach to restaurant cleaning, exemplifies how Ecolab can marry operational excellence with environmental responsibility, providing our customers with effective solutions that also support our planet.”
“The ACI Sustainability Spotlight Award is designed to recognize and honor players in the cleaning product industry for their steadfast commitment to sustainability,” said Nathan Sell, Senior Director, Sustainability, ACI. “Focusing on four critical sustainability pillar’s-Reduce Emissions, Value Nature, Increase Transparency, and Contribute Positively-the award highlights initiatives that prioritize these areas and the companies leading by example through innovative and effective strategies.
“We congratulate Ecolab on this innovation, and we look forward to celebrating other companies’ initiatives for many years to come.”
