Ecolab Inc. has been included in the 2010 Carbon Disclosure Project’s “Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index.” The index is a key component of CDP’s annual S&P 500 Report, which highlights the constituent companies within the S&P 500 Index which have displayed the most professional approach to corporate governance in respect to climate change disclosure practices.


The index, compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on behalf of CDP provides an evaluation tool for institutional investors. In 2010, it comprises 53 constituents of the S&P 500 Index based on analysis of the responses to CDP’s 2010 questionnaire which focused on greenhouse gas emissions, emissions reduction targets and risks and opportunities associated with climate change.

Companies are scored on their climate change disclosure and high scores indicate good internal data management and understanding of climate change related issues affecting the company.

“We are proud to receive this recognition,” said Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Ecolab chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our commitment to sustainability is fundamental to how we do business at Ecolab – and our CDP reporting is just one of our many key actions that support our global sustainability initiatives.”
