Ecolab today reaffirmed its long-term commitment to secure supply and ensure service to any customer, anywhere in the world, amid sharply rising global energy costs and sourcing challenges. As part of our ongoing efforts to manage extraordinary cost pressures while continuing to deliver incremental total value to customers, we will implement a global 10-14% energy surcharge, depending on local market conditions, on all our products and services, effective April 1, 2026, applicable to all businesses and countries.

Due to the war in the Middle East, global energy markets have experienced significant price volatility in recent weeks driven by supply disruptions, transportation constraints, and geopolitical developments. Since the end of 2025, oil prices have increased close to 60%, while natural gas prices have risen sharply across global markets, including nearly 80% in Europe, contributing to major cost increases for raw materials, manufacturing, and logistics throughout our global supply chain. This energy surcharge will be monitored closely and might be adjusted as market conditions evolve.
