Case Study: Ecolab achieves net zero by 2050 with Anthesis

Ecolab targets net zero by 2050 with Anthesis

Ecolab, a global leader in the chemical sector, sought to enhance its climate leadership by developing a suite of ambitious net zero commitments. To build upon its existing sustainability goals, Ecolab engaged its long-term partner, Anthesis, to help initiate a decarbonisation target setting process and develop an updated strategy.

Anthesis supported Ecolab by modeling business growth and reduction initiatives to set science-based targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. The solution included analyzing external trends and managing a cross-functional team through the evaluation process. As a result, Ecolab committed to achieving net zero by 2050, with goals including 100% renewable energy by 2030 and engaging suppliers covering 70% of its scope 3 emissions. Anthesis also helped Ecolab update its strategy to include a more ambitious absolute emission reduction target for its value chain.
