“Water and climate are linked; companies cannot advance decarbonization strategies without focusing on water,” said Emilio Tenuta, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, Corporate Sustainability, Ecolab Global in a virtual press conference on Friday. “As our world experiences growing water stress, investing in sustainable operations is not an option anymore. Companies need to make water a boardroom priority and need to develop strategies that harness technologies and digitize their operations for efficient water management” Tenuta added.
“Solutions like this can help Indian industries re-use, reduce and recycle water usage,” said Geetha Srinivasa, Country Head, Ecolab India. “From vaccine manufacturing to data centres, to innovative startups across sectors, the growth opportunity in Indian industry is immense. India has an incredible opportunity to drive sustainable progress and build business resilience by embracing water stewardship and responsible water management practices” she added.

Ecolab also worked with India-based Tata Steel to reduce water consumption by 30 per cent and save ₹3.73 crores over a three-year period.
The company’s various water management solutions such as the Smart Water Navigator are available to industrial businesses in India and can help them gauge the effectiveness of their water management plans and improve water and carbon footprint.
