If these were just words, this would be true. But if these words represent qualities that are accepted and endorsed as a way of life, it becomes an operating system in which everyone wins. There is a spirit of innovation and service at Ecolab that started 75 years ago and continues today. This same spirit permeates the Ecolab organization today. Employees adopt corporate causes with fervent enthusiasm and willingly support one another's efforts.
Pride builds upon itself.
When a company attains industry leadership through exceptional products and exceptional service, it's easy to feel proud. Our people go beyond selling products and actually help our customers to succeed. Pride generates a desire to maintain that leadership through exceptional performance. Ecolab employees are all determined to improve company performance by improving their own performance. Each employee is determined to work with customers to help them keep their customers by finding solutions to cleaning and sanitation problems and getting rid of pests that could cause disease.
